I got a ticket for having a open container in public in a obsurbed parking alot and cops came by and they gave us a ticket with the code 25620 (a) B&P wondering if this is considered a misdameaner or a infraction considering the fact i am under the age of 21 ? and how much would this ticket cost me ?
 


It's an infraction. But don't worry, you can generally handle this in traffic court.

Here is the statute, I bolded the relevant section:

25620. (a) Any person possessing any can, bottle, or other
receptacle containing any alcoholic beverage that has been opened, or
a seal broken, or the contents of which have been partially removed,
in any city, county, or city and county owned park or other city,
county, or city and county owned public place, or any recreation and
park district, or any regional park or open-space district shall be
guilty of an infraction if the city, county, or city and county has
enacted an ordinance that prohibits the possession of those
containers in those areas or the consumption of alcoholic beverages
in those areas
