Q: Should I know if charges have been pressed within 48 hours of interaction with officers
I was driving with 100 grams of THC concentrate when a tire blew. I pulled in a nearby parking lot but an officer showed up before the tow truck. They took me to a hospital, I blew clean but tested positive for THC. As far as i know no charges or tickets were issued at the scene. My license is not suspended and there are no charges on the court docket. The bulk amount of concentrate is missing though. Am I still likely to be pressed with charges? Or is it more likely the tow team took it.
A: If the officers sent it to the lab, it could be weeks or even months before they hear back.
