So last night I was pulled over for having a tail-light out. I had been smoking in the car with a friend about 30 minutes before being pulled over and when the officer was talking to me during the first few moments of being pulled over he stated that he smelled marijuana. He told me that under the Washington State Plain Smell Law he had the right search me and the vehicle. I presumed this to be true so I cooperated with the search. He asked me if he was going to find any marijuana or paraphenelia in the car and I answered truthfully, telling him that I had a few pipes and a little bit of weed in a small cardboard box in my glove compartment. So he detained me, read me my rights, asked me some questions and wrote me a ticket for posession of marijuana and possession of paraphenelia. My court date is in about a week.

Now for some more info... I am 18 years old, I turned 18 about a month ago. I have no previous criminal records or history. I am employed part-time at a local retail store. I am a student at my local high school.

Based on all this information and what happened, can anyone with some knowledge on these workings give me some insight on what I should expect to come? I plan on going to court and pleading guilty and telling the judge that I am willing to do community service/rehab or whatever else. Just wondering if anyone out there has experience with something like this...
