| Greetings. Heres the deal, I'm 17, live in LA county, california, and I got busted with about 20 g's, a dimesack, two pipes, baggies, and a scale. I was rolled by school safety (rumored to be sworn peace officers) I was parked a block away from school waiting for a friend (with 2 passengers) when he rolled up to my car and simply asked me to step out and immidiately searched the vehicle stating someone reported strong marijuana odor from my car. i got charged with HS 11359 and my arraignment in juvenile court is in about a week, any one know what im looking at? I have no prior record, also i started drug treatment in which I have started to come up clean for the past few weeks. also I have my diploma and am attending community college. my parents got me a pretty good lawyer and im thinking probation of some sort. also, once I complete my sentencing will this conviction be sealed? any help would be appreciated. |

| I discussed the school zone issue with my lawyer and she said it doesn't apply because I was still a minor. As for the search he never asked for my consent, however while he was searching my car I informed him I had marijuana prior to him finding anything. I also had some pipes which the lawyer may use as an indication of personal use rather than sales. thank you for the insight. |

| also does anyone think that the drug treatment program will sway the judge's opinion or am I just wasting my time? I go twice a week and get drug tested regularly, my counselour said he'd write a letter for court documenting my progress. |

| I would say continue with the drug treatment program. I once started a program before my sentencing and the judge told me to go ahead and finish the program. I was already half - way through it. It can only help, and he'll most likely sentence you to one anyhow. Good Luck

| It depends if you go to trail or not. It should have no impact on a guilty plea, but if you dont plead guilty and go to trial, it can be very helpful. |

| As someone who used to work in a treatment center I can tell you that a lot of judges will go easier on a person if they have/agree to complete a treatment program. In fact the majority of people that go to treatment go for this very reason. |
