I just got a possession of marijuana ticket, as well as a possession of drug paraphernalia ticket on my way home from snowboarding. I was in a federal forest, and the ticket was issued by a forest service officer.
There is nothing on the ticket that says I have to go to court. They're just tickets for $125 each. I live in Washington State.
My question is if there is anything I will have to do after I pay the fee? Will I have probation or anything like that? The way I see it, I just send a couple checks in the mail, and have the shit on my record. I'm worried about what the complications are of it being in a federal forest.

Only thing I can think of is that the charges definitely aren't going to be dropped. My buddy ran from the DNR up in NJ and only got a ticket. He might have gotten boned if he didn't though, gave him the time to ditch his shit.

best keep quiet, and get past it ... you don't want to make waves, and draw attention to your case ... years ago, my next-door neighbor was the Reagan-appointed Federal Judge, that had Sequoia Nat'l. Park in his jurisdiction ... he was a really nice guy, BUT, he would put marijuana-toking tourists UNDER the jail ! ... serious hardass hangin' judge :wtf: ... Feds get real serious about that, you got off real lucky :thumbsup:

What ever happened with that? Same thing happened to me today and I am wondering if I should take it to court?
