What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
My friend called 911 after she brought me home from drinking one night, I was highly intoxicated and the police responded. Our neighbor, who had not been drinking, and my friend, who had also been drinking, were questioned by the police officer. My neighbor said he had just responded to help her get me into the house and after seeing my state insisted that my friend call 911. My friend told them that we had been at the bar, both of us are underage, and then when she brought me home I was unconcious so she called 911 for help. The officer asked for the IDs that we used to get into the bar and she handed him my ID and an ID of another one of our friends who was also at the bar. She had used my ID (underage ID) and I had used our friends. There is no proof that I used the other ID other than what she told the officer in her intoxicated state. I was ticketed for Underage Alcohol Consumption and ID Card Violation. She was not ticketed at all.
Questions:
--Can I fight the ID ticket because there is no proof that it was used by me at the bar seeing as we were not arrested or had any interaction with the officer at the bar and because the IDs in the wallet carried into the bar was mine and our other friends, who was also at the bar?
--How do I go about approaching these violations because I cannot afford the fines and my court date it July 14, 2010.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
