So what'd they base that disorderly conduct charge on? It sounds like you might have had a couple of officers who weren't familiar with the codes they were enforcing. I also wonder if that's why they had to tell you they weren't sure if they'd file criminal charges or not--because they weren't sure themselves if they had more charges to bring against you. Were you by any chance in a small town or in a rural area? Were they police officers, sheriff's deputies, constables, or highway patrolmen? I'm just curious about what level of officers they might have been and what the circumstances were.

Sounds like you simply got a misdemeanor citation and nothing more. They'll submit the report to their supervisors, who'll review it and help them decide what their next steps need to be if there are other charges to be brought against you. No one can tell you you won't receive further charges, but what I do know is that officers tell young people like you hat very same thing on every shift they work and they mostly do it to put a scare into you and nothing more. Most cops recognize that kids and cannabis are a routine, non-dangerous combination. They have bigger fish to fry and bigger cases to spend their time pursuing and going to court about. I suspect that unless they're the most small-town, provincial cops and this is a unique type of experience for them, you won't hear anything further. Can't guarantee that, though. No one can.

Why the question about hemp? Did they identify your plant as a hemp plant? Cannabis and hemp are the same thing, in case you didn't know. Hemp is the common name for cannabis sativa, but the stems and fibers that form hemp aren't the plant parts that people smoke and don't contain the THC content that the buds with trichomes do. So if you had a male plant, yes, you had yourself some hemp there in your planter.

You'll want to be extra careful between now and the time you pay that fine and that ticket case is closed. By that I mean don't carry any more paraphernalia or weed in the car with you and don't get stopped again or charged with anything. You don't need any additional trouble while this case is pending.
