NYC Penal Law § 221.05-Unlawful Possession of Marijuana: Your Personal Experience?
Hi, My 16 year old son and 3 friends were smoking a joint walking down the street and were given a pink summons for "Unlawful Possession of Marijuana". They weren't taken to the stationhouse, just written up and have a court date in May.
I've been to every possible web site about this, on phone with cop friends and political acquaintances; Our relationship is good; I knew he was smoking and told him if it becomes a problem tell me. He has to go to court in May. What did you do? Thanks.

I suggest anonymizing it rather than deleting it.
I don't have direct experience with this but my understanding from others' experiences is that any decent lawyer can keep this off a 16-year-old's record, especially if a concerned parent such as yourself is involved.
