You should think about hiring counsel. This can be a blemish on your record and I would suggest an attorney like myself that regularly handles these types of cases.

Re: Should i plead not guilty

Depending on your criminal history, you may be able to qualify for a diversion program or you might be able to plead this down to an infraction. Based on the circumstances of your search, you may also have a fair shake at getting the case dismissed. Don't hold your breath though as prosecutors don't have to do anything they don't want to. For best results, hire a private defense lawyer.

Best of Luck!
