So I got busted...Advice needed!

If the cop said you have to appear in court, then it will be traffic court. No need for an attorney/lawyer, they are just going to give you a fine and if you older than 18 your parents aren't going to find out. Dress nice and be polite and the judge will most likely drop the fine about $50. Watch your mail though, if they send your court date in the mail as a reminder.

Hey man go to court looking as nice and innocent as you can. Wear the nicest church clothes you can find, and be polite in court, win the judge and jury's sympathy, tell them you have learned your lesson, and are very sorry. If you can not afford a lawyer, the state can get one for you at no cost. Use him. Shit, I don't know, the best advice I can give you is, next time, smoke in the backyard. :thumbsup:
