Don't get in trouble because they are not going to help you they are going to try to get you a plea bargain so they can make their job as easy as possible they will even throw you under the bus in front of the judge

Unfortunately it is going to have to play it self out in court. Depending on the severity he should have a bail hearing. At the end of the day the Defenders Association have some decent attorneys that will fight for him. If they feel the evidence is too overwhelming to win the case they will work with the prosecutors to get the best deal they can. If it goes to trial they will assign an experienced lawyer to the case to ensure he gets adequate representation. The law is the law. It's not what you know it's what you can prove.

I believe your two replies are correct. (Disclaimer: I am NOT an attorney.) It the officer had a legal reason to stop/interact with you, they may investigate further suspicions. And despite how socially decriminalized it has become in recent years, marijuana is generally still an illegal drug.

I am trying to figure out a way I can sue my employer for with holding my bonus money. It dose not state in the paper work any where that he can do that. How do I go about starting this?

Mann John | Oct 19, 2018

I dont believe they handle employment issues except if you were either arrested or assaulted at work....(circumstantial) Maybe you should file a grievance with your HR dept. and have it escalated. Also EEOC handles employment related matters... Check with them.

Only if the police have reasonable suspicion that uou were engaged in criminal activity. If not then you are free to leave. By the way, question him as he approaches which may help him slow down and understand without searching you.
