STORY: Okay so im riding with my friend to the gas station to grab a dutch. When all of a sudden i get pulled over by a Detective. As they approach my car i had a small clip so i decided to eat it. Then immediately inserted a gum in my mouth to cover the smell. The cop ask me what i put in my i told him gum. He told me to open my mouth the gum was black with tabacco residue on it from the dutch. Immediately im pulled out and placed cuffs on me. Then they search my friend. WE HAD NOTHING IN THE CAR. As they begin to search my whole car i remember " My Bullet (pipe) is in my bookbag". They eventually found it. I was released with a PTA for 1)possesion of marijuana and 2)possesion for paraphelenia. I am aware how lucky i am for not being charged with tampering (thank god).
Question: I live in florida, Now i have never ever been in trouble with law. No tickets no nothing. I work at a school were they do local backround checks every school year. Im worried sick out my mind because i stress things alot thats how i am.. All my friends tell me "ull be okay its a slap in the wrist". Thing is i dont percieve it this way i DO care about my future and currently attend college full time. Should i hire a lawyer and hope to get the charges dropped/dismissed? Will this still appear on my record? Should i just try my luck hope the detectives dont show up and charges det dismissed?
What do i do? Im a good kid and sucks that we need to learn things the hard way sometimes.
Additional info: On the PTA he wrote the pipe was in center console in plain view, obiouslly a lie could this somehow help me in court? Also they took no marijuana because i had none just the dirty gum as evidence and still charged me with poss. of marijuana..
Thank you in advance for anyone taking thier time to help me...
