What is the name of your state? CA
Recently I allowed my 17 yr old daughter to throw a small party . A couple dozen kids showed and there was some drinking. All but 2 of the kids were 18 and over. In my backyard, very orderly and calm get together until nosy neighbor complained of noise at 11:00 pm. Long story short, cops arrive, walk straight into backyard and house before they realized I was home. Cops chase all kids home and ticket me for contributing to minors.
I'm mad as hell but know I'll get over it and just pay fine. Should I pay the fine and shut up or get attorney to keep this off record? How stiff can these fines be and should I be concerned? What else might this citation effect as regards auto insurance, credit etc?
Paranoid, conservative, never throw party for kid again, Dad
