Q: My friends and i were stopped by police. I was nervous upon being questioned. They asked my name and i gave my nickname
I go by jay. My real name is Justin. I gave them my proper last name and birthday. I realized by mistake and informed them PRIOR to them searching for me. They had not found i gave false info, i simply realized my mistake and was honest with them before i was searched. They gave me and obstruction of an officer misdemeanor court appearance ticket. What’s going to happen to me. Will a judge hear what i say? Will it get tossed? I’m a college student with no priors of any kind: clean record. The cops were bad cops. One even joked about thinking i had a magazine clip for a gun in my pocket. Is my life really going to be affected by this ?
A:
more info needed.
it is certainly not serious.
ask for a public defender IF THE DA FILES and tell him all this.......i bet it gets tosses based on what you have said.
