How can this be handled properly
my daughter is 18yrs old while driving home was pulled over for headlite, her car was searched and a pot pipe was found, she had no marijuana on her nor was she under influence,she was ticketed and let go, this happened in another state, how can this be handled so it does not stay on her record for possession of drug parahernalia {that is the charge}, court is in 2 days we believe it was going to be a phone court, just learned today her public defender will be in court for her. {whom we can never reach}. is taking a substance class advised? to help this case? and because she is 18 can we get this deferred as not to stay on her record?
