Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California
11357 b
i have just received a citation for a 11357B - possession of marijuana (25.8gs or less) and scheduled for a court date. I am aware of the $100 plus court charges fee but had heard rumors that you can get you license taken aways as well. Is this true? It was in Santa Anta, CA.

Re: 11357 b
Not True Anymore. First of all, if you had had a medical certificate you could have avoided all of this and you could have even made the cops give you your MJ back.
I tell people to have fun with this type of case. You can plead no contest and pay maybe $250, and there are few consequences unless you want to work for the military or in law enforcement -- but who knows, there might be unanticipated consequences, it could be used against you in a child custody dispute or in some other manner you didn't expect.
You have nothing at all to lose by pleading not guilty and demanding a jury trial - there is no way you can get any greater punishment than the $100 fine, no possibility whatsoever of jail time, probation, or drivers' license suspension.
Please feel free to write or call.
