Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I got stopped for a not wearing a seat belt. . . cops said my car smelled like weed and they took me out of the car searched me/ harassed me and tore apart my car to find a roach in the ashtray. They then charged me with UPM and the seat belt. The amount of weed unrolled from the roach is substantially nothing. Im wondering what I should expect in court and whats the best way to go about it? Is the evidence there if it is only an appearance ticket?

The issuance of an appearance ticket has nothing to do with the evidence being there or not. However, any first time marijuana charge should be an ACD at arraignment.
