What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tampa, FL
This past weekend I received possession of alcohol by a person under 21. I have previously received a similar charge in New Hampshire but filed for 'an annulment' two months ago after completing an alcohol education course. I am not sure if it has been wiped from my record yet though.
Anyways, I was at a concert and 5 cops pulled my friend and I aside to ask for ID. As soon as I saw the cops I placed the beer that I was holding on the ground. I showed them my real license and student id, they then took my wallet away and thoroughly looked through it. They found a fake id and all they did was confiscate it so I was not charged for that. They also took a sample of the bud light that I had placed on the ground. I was very polite with the cops, I was not drunk in anyway, they did not breathalyze or field test me. My friend was 21 so they let him go. I am turning 21 in 30 days. I was issued a notice to appear 10 days before my 21st.
I cannot afford another lawyer. I need to know what I am looking at in terms of charges or consequences. Also, is there any possibility I can get the charge off my record for a second time? can they bring up the fact that I had a fake id?
