If I get a ticket for having marijuana on me and got my card, does it mean I still have to pay my fine?

Did you get the card before or after you got arrested? If after then you have to pay it. If before then you have to go to court and prove it.

Yes, unless you showed the officer your card.

You swore twice in your question. Not every Latino is a gang member but if you talk like that what do you think people will think of you? The police will continue to pull over every Black, Hispanic, Latino, biker, hippie, and yes, even young white men because that is who they expect to either have drugs, weapons, traffic tickets that are unpaid, no insurance, warrants, or just to see what they are up to. That is because every day for 20 years they have arrested young men for crimes and not older people, women, or businessmen. If you want to avoid being pulled over or having to endure a stop and frisk them act like and dress like a businessman. The police will always profile people and harass young men (of every race) so all you can do is ti be clean and polite and not get them upset by your behavior. Also, try not to swear at them. You should get a lawyer to have it dismissed. Your "card" I assume is a green card which will be returned to you after the case is over or after arraignment. You cannot change the world, you can only change yourself.

Yes, at the time of your citation you broke the law. You might try arguing with the prosecutor to see if he will dismiss the charge.

I would need a little more information to fully answer your question. Particularly, were you in a vehicle or walking? If you were walking, you probably should not have been given a ticket. If you were in a motor vehicle however, you must abide by a new law from 2012 which states basically that the marijuana must be essentially out of usable reach while the vehicle is in operation. This typically means in a sealed container, out of arms reach, and to be safe, actually in your trunk. Depending on the amount of the fine, you would either want to seek a free consultation with an experienced attorney in your area and determine if you can fight this yourself, or, if the fine is small, it may be less of a headache to just pay the fine.

Yes. You should speak with an attorney or the marijuana charge will remain on your record.
