What is the name of your state? Washington

Keg in my trunk without a keg permit within 5 feet, rented legally. I am just wondering how I should proceed with this. I've never even had a ticket in my life and this would be my first anything, a potential gross misdameanor.

Thanks for everyones help BTW.

Keg in my trunk without a keg permit that I got from my friend(a now bankrupt formerly legal business). I am just wondering how I should proceed with this. I've never even had a ticket in my life and this would be my first anything, a potential gross misdameanor.

I assume it had beer in it?

I'd recommend a lawyer.

What statute is listed on the citataion? I buy a couple kegs a year for family gatherings and have never heard of a keg permit.

It's stuck to the keg. It's the form you sign that says you won't serve any minors with your keg.

WAC-314-02-115

Everything was done legally its just that the tag that is suppose to be within 5 feet was more than 5 feet away. He wrote me up as a rcw 66.28.200.2 but that is about responsibilities of the seller and i am the buyer which would be under 66.28.210. Does that make a difference?

It's not 5 feet anymore I believe. The tag MUST BE ATTACHED to the KEG at all times. If you really had the permit, I'd go to the hearing or court or whatever and just plead honest stupidity. I'm not sure what the "bankrupt friend" had to do with it.

Normally the wrong statute on the ticket would be a cause for dismissal. The officer usually does not show in WA state so you could ask for dismissal on those grounds. How did the officer know the keg was in the trunk to start with or was it partially open?
