First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this...
This evening, my 18 yr old daughter was caught in a liquor store trying to use an ID that was given to her by a 'friend'. The officer started to write her a citation, and apparently had a problem writing it, and told her to stop into the local precient tomorrow to pick it up. He confiscated the ID. She was not driving a car, as she was with other people. At this point, I'm not sure what he is going to charge her with, but I assume it's using a fake/altered ID to purchase alcohol as a minor.
My questions are.... Is it normal for an officer to start a citation and then stop and tell the defendant to pick it up the next day? Should I engage an attorney before she picks it up and signs the citation? Thanks for any and all replies.
