I got an open container ticket when i stupidly walked out of a bar w/ a clear plastic cup containing jack daniels. My fine is $142 (don't have to go to court if i pay it), which sucks. But i'm guilty and i'll pay it. However, my question, which i can't seem to find an answer to, is: by paying the fine (and thus admitting guilt) will this go on my record?
Interestingly, the officer checked the "traffic" box on the citation (the other choices were "non-traffic" and "misdemeanor"). My car was a few blocks away in my garage so i was clearly on foot. So this is a little confusing.
Further, after the officer took my cup he told me i was "under arrest until the citation was issued". He then asked me what was in the cup and i said, "jack and water." Did i incriminate myself? and was he supposed to read me my rights having told me i was "under arrest"?
Anyway, any advice or answers would be very helpful, thanks!!
