He is a 17yr old minor which means he can be placed on adult probation. This means if he screws up they will put him in adult jail and charge him just the same. Luckily he is in the great state of Cali where it isn't AS big a deal as a lot of other places. All depends on what the prosecutor wants...HE IS A MINOR. The state will try to scare him and possibily get him to talk. They will say all these things to him since he is a first timer to SCARE him shitless. They will probabily prolong his court case for as long as they can just to fuck with him and teach him a lesson. Community service is what I see in his future.
I forgot to ask if he already has a juvy record... This will make a HUGE impact on his case...My friend just got caught with about 1/2 and ounce of bud while at skool, he's 17 and I believe this is his first offense. He lives in California and he also had his pipe and a scale. What are some charges he may be expecting???
Hopefully he dont fuck up then lol. No seriousily he is lucky to be in the state of Cali. I once herd a story from a guy not knowing if its true at all but he said he knew a guy that got busted in the 70's with a roach in new orleans and served 7 months in jail. dont know if thats true but if so damn those are some harsh ass laws. As for them sentencing him to adult probation, im not sure if they would do that but hey like you said, it all depends on what the prosecuter wants.....meaning if he got some Tail the night before the kid is in the clear.He is a 17yr old minor which means he can be placed on adult probation.

whatever dude, I had weed on me more then a few times during high school. I love how people on here act like their the shit and did nothing but wise decisions throughout their life. Bullshit, you just didn't get caught.being in possession of drugs even driving through a school zone will FUCK you! Not to mention your buddy was in school, with a scale. Potential intent to distribute, obvious possession charges, paraphernalia, and having in the school will most likely double the penalties... sucks for your buddy, maybe next time he won't be a dipshit...
Whatever, public school was a joke, Last two years of high school I went to public school, it wasn't even worth taking seriously. Not like he won't be able to move past this.Maybe he should have saved those activities for recreational time. An education is important. He can probably expect intent to distribute/sales and a paraphernalia charge as well as simple possession by a minor. They will more than likely drop at least the para and the possession charges with admission to the latter and offer probation w/ drug counseling unless his parents have his back. Times have changed since I was in school though. He may be expelled. These are all worst case scenarios though. They may just tell him tisk tisk, write him a ticket, confiscate it all, and suspend him for a few days. Depends on the district and city/township he is in as well as the leniency of the deciding administration.
