Someone saw the video and reported it to the cruise lines. And I was banned for life. Not for getting caught for smoking weed. Banned because of a video of me smoking onboard. Can I sue?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
They'll do that. The short answer is that cruise lines have a no-marijuana policy. It's possible the video was flagged as a violation of policies, and that it could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings if it appeared on social media or other public forums. Good luck
I was trying to pump gas and cop smelt weed coming from my car so she came up to me as I was trying to leave. Also on my citation she wrote the wrong date

Simple possession is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by 11 months and 29 days in the detention facility. Realistically, if you were released on a citation and do not have a criminal history it is likely that you would get probation. However, you do not want to simply plead guilty to the simple...

The first thing you need to do is let your parents know, and you (you and your parents) need to go speak to a lawyer. Schools are not allowed to question students without someone "friendly" to the student, and no, the school administrators and teachers are usually friendly to the school... View More

Do not plead straight up guilty! It will ruin your life. Hire an attorney to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged.

Most criminal marijuana crimes are 1 year SOLs, but some are felonies with up to 8 year SOLs. Lying about use could net a perjury charge under a 6 year SOL.

You might test it in a suppression motion, but if LEO smells pot, they have probable cause to think you are committing a crime.

Hire an attorney to represent you. Prepare for a preliminary hearing unless you can get it diverted, dismissed, then expunged. A conviction will mess your life up. Work, stay out of trouble, and get a new phone and number.
I was at my house when the incident occurred

LEO has a year to initiate a misdemeanor charge against you. Be prepared with money to bond out of jail and hire your own attorney. Stay away from illegal activities.

No... But if there are other things found with it like drug residue, then it may be charged as Drug Paraphernalia.

He needs to hire an attorney immediately to handle this case for him.
several small stashes of marijuana were found. My oldest received a simple possession charge. She does not partake in marijuana. If I took a negative hair follicle drug test to court and questioned the fact that the car is not hers, would the charge possibly be dropped?

Daughter needs a competent attorney now to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. The hair test would be heresay without expert testimony, but is something to tell the DA. She does not want a drug conviction on her record. It sounds like a consent search also.
In the state of Tennessee
No prior charges

You did not say what contraband is involved. But many Misdemeanors involve a possible 11 month, 29 day Sentence. Meth requires at least 30 days in Jail. Hire an attorney to seek Diversion, Dismissal and Expungement.
It’s a possession got 4.3 grams of weed. I’m also on a F-1 student visa.

Hire a competent attorney to represent you. Convictions will probably mean deportation.
What can I be charged with
answered on Mar 24, 2021

You can be charged with violating T.C.A. 39-16-201, which is the introduction or possession of weapons, explosives, intoxicants or drugs into a penal institution where prisoners are quartered. Violation of this statute is a Class C Felony, so it is extremely important... View More

The Citation can be produced, reissued or even converted to an Arrest Warrant very quickly. Ohio laws have no bearing in TN, which apparently you would have been in violation of also. Hire an attorney now. You need to get this Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged, or it will mess up your life.

You will probably have to serve some portion of your Sentence. The Violation can be tried if you really think you can put on positive proof that the PO made a false statement on the VOP. That is a heavy burden though, with a painful ending when the Court locks you up. Like it or not Pot is... View More
