Keep in mind, I'm not an attourney, but...

Well, for starters, how do you know dude snitched? Did you ever see a discovery? The discovery will tell you what the cops knew. That's where they'll put in what ever gave them "probable cause". However, cops (and investigators) will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS tell you that "your boy already gave you up. Said you're the one that's knee deep into this and he's pinning it all on you". They'll almost say it word for word. It's just a tactic that they use to turn everyone against one another and trick YOU into being the rat or giving your self up. So with that said, never tell thme anything without being arrested because they obviously have nothing to arrest you for. Just hear-say which won't stand up in court. But he didn't show you anything (form what you're telling me thus far) so you shouldn't have given him anything. All the cop knew is wher you guys were at. He had no probable cause from the sounds of it. And evne if your boy did rat on you about the O, you shoulda dumped that shit in the house. He can't walk through that door looking for evidence without a warant and can't get a warrant without prob. cause and can't get prob. cause from someoen saying "yeah, he's got drugs". He'd have to pat you down or find something on or around you to get prob cause and then he'd have to get the warrant. Even if you hauled ass in the house when you saw the cops, tossed the O, thne came back out side, you coulda said you thought the phone was ringing, he couldn't do jack shit about it.

As for if you have ot go to court, call the municipality and find out. It'd be a good idea ot find out what charges are being brought against you too so you know what steps to take from there. Even if he made an error when telling you weather to go to court or not, that won't be enough to dismiss the ticket since it's not the information of events that's innacurate. Just your appearance. They'd play that off with nullifying a bench warrant or something pussy liek that. If you had to appear, they'd send you a carbon copied form to tell you though. But still, call and make sure.

Once again, I'm not a lawyer. If your shit don't work out for you, don't sue me.
