My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
First off, I have a clean record, zero convictions, in fact - this is the first time I have ever been pulled over by a police officer.
I was driving and was pulled over. The officer said he ran my plate and it showed up in F status. I showed him my proof of insurance and he went back to his car and verified it. I had insurance.
The officer said he smelled marijuana. He asked if I was smoking or if there was anything in my car. I do not smoke and I told him no, nothing was in my car. He asked again and said K9 could come out. I thought about it and remembered that there was a marijuana grinder in my car. No idea how he smelled that, but I gave it to him.
He thanked me and said I was free to go. Obviously, he kept the grinder. He did not give me any citation but he said I would get something in the mail, and drove off quickly to run a passing cars plates.
What am I looking at? I do not smoke. I'm aware that's no excuse, I don't even remember or know how that grinder got in my car, again, not an excuse.
Is it a fine I am getting in the mail? Should I talk to a public defender? Will I go to jail? What are the possible outcomes? Is he even going to send anything at all? Will this be on my record?
I am really scared... again, I've never been in any legal trouble ever!
