Sorry to create another legal advice thread, its just that I wanted to get an educated opinion on my situation.
I was in Sydney heading to an event and got sniffed by the sniffer dogs and got told they were going to perform a strip search on me.
So I decided when they asked me if I had any drugs I was already pretty screwed so I handed them over.
Basically I did everything they said as they examined the drugs.
They assumed the 2 caps were speed so I followed along even though they were 2c-b.
Along with 10mg valium.
So after their testing or whatever they were doing came out and told me the capsules were empty and that I’d been jipped by whoever my dealer was. (they each had 10mg in them)
They then issued me with this yellow slip and I got charged with possession as it still counts as speed even if there is nothing inside the capsules as I intentionally bought it as speed. They gave me some yellow papers and said I didn’t need to go back to the station as they took me back to the front of the que and sent me on my way.
Anyway, I've got a court hearing coming up and the problem is I won't be in Sydney as I’m at uni 6 hours from Sydney when its due. I don't really want to tell my parents the whole story and am willing to pay the fine.
Except if I go to court I am willing to accept that I will have to tell my parents and get there help, I just want another opinion on how deep I really am. My friend who was done for possession got some hidden criminal record so only the police can view it and he can still apply for visas, uni, etc. Does anyone know if I’d be up for the same (or is it all based on luck) In which case would it be in my best interests to go to court?
Just weighing up my options
thanks for listening
