lesson 1, do not believe what "they" tell you. Other than that I am not sure I follow your question ... you say - So i wanna know if they have can take in,or what r my rights?
I don't follow what that means.
in any case though, I would recommend to talk to some attorneys local to where the case will be heard. Good luck!
Not only should you not believe what they tell you but more importantly you should have kept quiet. Without you saying anything they may not have arrested you and they could not have convicted you. But you convicted yourself by claiming the baggie.
P. S. The only reason they ask you questions is because they did not have enough evidence to arrest you.
