Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

If you have no prior convictions, the State won't get that worked up over this charge. Your options will be to either: negotiate a plea deal with the State; if you don't like the State's offer to plea, you can plead straight up to the Judge; or you may want to fight the charge by ascertaining if there is a possible motion to keep certain evidence out (due to an improper search, entrapment or some other improper behavior if it exists, by the officer). Even if you can't win on a Motion, you may still want a trial and see if you can beat it.

I don't know the facts, thus can't advise on your chances of winning at trial or via a Motion, but in my experience, you should be able to get a favorable negotiated plea disposition.
