how i got completely screwed

so this just happened last night. and i cant believe how much of a dumbass i was. btw im also 18.

i was at my friends house with 4 other people, just havin a few beers and smokin some weed. This girl who i really like got in a huge fight with her friend and she basically just wanted to leave so she got in my car and we left.

5 minutes later im about to pull into arbys and a cop pulls me over. He asked me for my registration, and mine was apparently a day expired (or really like 30 minutes since it was 12:30). Then he asked me if i had been drinking, and i said no.

So he asks the girl to get out of the car and she was pretty obviously drunk, and pretty much admitted that we had been drinking and smoking, so they took her away.
They made me get out of the car and do those drinking tests (which i did fuckin sweet at) but then gave me a breathalizer and i blew a .023, so fucked there. Next, the girl brought in 2 beers we were planning on drinking later, and one of them was opened, and the cops could see it from outside the car (i know im a dumbshit). So the cop tells me he sees that so theyre gonna have to tow the car, and theyre going to have to search it, so he asked if i have anything else on me. I just told him there was weed and a bowl because it would have been in the first spot they checked.

Basically i got charged with;
Possession of marijuana
Possession of drug paraphinalia
MIP - alcohol
Improper Plate
Open intox

can you say.. fucked??!
So can you guys help me out, is there anything i should have done differently when they pulled me over, or is there any way of possibly getting out of any of this? I don't see how I could be so damn dumb.

Nope, if the cops saw the open container and then you said No you havent been drinking, you were completely fucked.

ouch,thats sux bro,but at least they didnt take you to jail.

you can't argue the law with cops, they're all fascists--logic is their weakness. oh, and stay away from drunk girls...and alcohol all together when you have herb on you. since you passed the field sobriety, i think you could have talked you're way through explaining the .23. if they ask about drugs deny the shit. live and learn. good luck.

well i just shouldnt haave had alcohol in my car to begin with hah. but stickyfingaz, i did go to jail, and it sucked ass.

The only thing your doing by refusing is making the cops even more suspicious and you can't refuse a breathalizer,the coppers will just wait on a warrant to come so you have to take it.

how much weed did you have on you?

Unlucky man
