I am 19 years old and I was in Block Island, Rhode Island and I received a citation for having a fake id. The ID was a real id I found about six months ago so I am unsure of its origins as to whether it was real or fake. I was in a grocery and was looking at beer when an undercover officer asked for ID. He saw my real ID as I went for my wallet and called uniformed officers. I was not arrested but I do have to appear for court. I was wondering what will be the consequences of a guilty plea and what type of effect this will have on my record. Any information would be appreciated.

3-8-6.2 of the RI Gen law. makes it a misdemeanor. I think it's typically a $500 fine.
You will have a criminal record. I don't know if there is any DMV implications.
