My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.
I was extremely intoxicated at a California poker room and was caught on video awkwardly making a humping motion against a bent over casino worker. I didn't remember doing it and it looked like I was trying to impress or entertain a friend at the table like a drunk goof when I cop showed me the video of it. I was arrested and thrown in I think the drunk tank for the night and they gave me a notice to appear in court. I'm a canadian citizen and the officer in the morning told me this is not a big issue and that I can find a $200 lawyer online and made it sound like it wasn't a big deal but everything I've been reading makes this sound serious. I'd like help on understanding what my options are. Do I have to appear in court? Is law help or advice for these matters really that cheap? I was finger printed and had my photo taken in the police station and the offence is 243.4 (E)(1) written on the notice to appear.
These are some things I've been reading but I'm still not sure. It seems really harsh if I have to pay a fine or be titled a sex offender I was just really intoxicated and joking around.
