Not quite this will go on his criminal record as a misdemeanor.
Not supporting the law but honestly I've never heard of someone getting a ticket vs going to jail in Georgia

That's because it has never ever ever ever happened, until Nick Marshall, that I've ever heard of, and I have lived in Georgia 33 years.
I have heard of and/or witnessed where a cop will simply ignore/confiscate weed if it is a small amount and the victim, excuse me, perp is cooperative, but I've only seen this at busted house parties where the house gets searched and a kid has a joint in his pocket but otherwise wasn't making any trouble or hooting or hollaring, basically minding his own business chillin on the porch before popo showed up. Not that any of this matters, Marshall had a quarterbag plus two grams and was in his car. Never heard of a citation for that. That's Jimmy Carter shite.

I run background checks every day. A speeding ticket goes on your record much like a marijuana citation where you are allowed to get back in the car and drive away.
For those that don't understand GA law, it was SOP to release a person who showed no signs of using marijuana but did have the amount he possessed. Similar to when we break the law speeding. We get a citation but get to go home.
