Re: marijuana

Do you have to?

No.

Will the officer arrest you if you don't?

Possibly.

He might also arrest you if you do.

You need to contact a local attorney in your county who does a good deal of criminal defense and have him represent you in dealing with the cop regardless which way you want to go.
