I was arrested for "possession for sales" today and i am wondering what i can do.
In California, the possession of currency, baggies and a scale usually give officers probable cause that the crime being committed is possession with the intent to sell or distribute (vs. simple possession for personal use). As such, to defend your case properly, your attorney would need to look at the evidence presented against you, investigate further, and then prepare the appropriate defense.

Criminally, you can be liable for committing an act of battery (and depending on the injuries, a special allegation of causing great bodily harm which in California is an enhancement to the crime itself). Separate from any criminal charges, he could bring a civil action against you (or if you're a minor, against your parents) for the injuries you've caused. In both the criminal and/or the civil case, you could...
