What to do if I was pulled over for my license plate not being illuminated and was in possession of meth?
The officer did not arrest me. He seized the drugs and told me to call him later in the week and we could meet and talk; he would not turn the citation in until he had spoken with me. When I met with the officer he was accompanied by another officer. I was told that if I worked for them and wear a wire that he would not turn my citation in and I would not be charged with any crimes. Is this even legal or am I being fooled by these officers?

Please go and speak with an attorney as soon as you can. It is really difficult to tell what is going on here and if they are on the up and up. But Generally speaking they can not just NOT report a crime and this sounds kind of fishy to me. Please, get help.
