how do i plea?

i am facing a disorderly conduct and carrying a fake id, and im wondering how i should plea? if i plea guilty would i most likely just pay fines? if i plea not guilty would i have to meet with the magistrate and then maybe have the fines reduced? and im wondering what both situtations would do to my permanit record

Re: how do i plea?

Disorderly conduct can be held for court as a Misdemeanor of the Third Degree. If you showed the fake ID to the cops that's also a Misdemeanor 3. If you are being charged with simply carrying a false ID, then I think you are probably a minor and it would be a summary offense. If you are a minor, then it may be possible to get you into a diversionary program if this is your first offense. If you are an adult the police may be willing to reduce the charges to summary offenses.
