Not more that a $500 civil fine
Community service and/or a fine. I think.
You don't ! You got caught breaking the law - you pay the penalty !
No, It's possession of a narcotic paraphernalia
The man was arrested after the police searched his home and found drug paraphernalia. I brought my sports paraphernalia to the game
If carved INTO some fashion of drug paraphernalia then yes. A cola bottle and a bag can be legally classed as drug paraphernalia when used for the intake of drugs.
Yes possession of drug paraphernalia is against the law.
No you can't knowingly sell "drug paraphernalia." You can sell paraphernalia, like rolling papers, pipes, etc., for use with tobacco products.
In some states just having the pipe is an arrestable offense. No matter if it has residue or not.
Yes. You can be charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
If you were charged with a higher penalty crime and it was reduced to poss. of drug paraphernalia i would be happy with that. If you try to get it reduced more it probably won't do any good. Chances are if you talk with the DA of that area you may be able to convince them to give you community service, etc. Depending on their laws and local restrictions.
Such a sentence may take the place of a stronger penalty but unless the judge has specifically ruled that way, it will not.
