Possession ticket

Tiznonay · 03-05-2009, 07:33 PM

Hey, whats up? A few weeks ago I got a ticket for possession of under an ounce of marijuana from a Riverside County Sheriff. Today I went to my local court to get fingerprinted and take care of the ticket, which I had always been told is just a $100 fine and not really a big deal. Anyways, after I got fingerprinted, I went to the court clerk, and they told me that I could not pay that fine, and that I would have to see the judge on my court date. Anyone know why? Is there some reason why I can't just pay the fine and move on like the dozen or so of my friends who have gone through this did?

you have to go to court and make a plead and then pay a fine. Ive done this twice before. marijuana will never be legal becuase they make so much more money making it illegal. i dont know about cali but in nevada the fines came to like $700+ and all i had was a gram each time. $700 for a gram i didnt even get to smoke, some cop got to smoke it.

Yeah I've heard they're real strict on that in Nevada. In CA it's supposed to be only a $100 fine, but i've got this strange feeling they're gonna try and screw me somehow.

But you're saying it's normal to have to go to court and make a plea? I just have to tell em I plead guilty or whatever then, right?

in Toronto, it's decriminalized...meaning, it's really to the discretion of the cop...
In one instance, when I was younger, I had a j, and popo asked if he can have some...but he was a young cop. I would assume, older cops wouldn't be as cool about it.

plead guilty and pay the fine, it's easier.

In Denver Colorado you are legally allowed to carry up to an ounce of marijuana without penalization

SiLVER Surfer · 04-12-2009, 10:07 PM

Zeuceone · 04-16-2009, 04:46 AM

The slammer isn't a fun place to be.

But I was caught with a bong, 2 ounces and a butterfly knife.. Got a citation for the knife.
