What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I recently got a MIP at a tailgating event in Mount Pleasant. This is my first offense of any kind. Im 19 years. I hadnt been drinking but was asked to grab a beer for someone of age. So I grabbed one and was waiting for him to come back to get it ( for only a moment, one moment too long) when a cop tapped me on the shoulder. The beer was un opened because I wasnt going to drink it. I didnt realize I was a minor in possession because I didnt feel like I was doing anything wrong. I know I should have told the cop the beer wasnt for me but I didnt want to get the others MIPs or the guy that bought the beer for them in trouble. I also never said the beer was for me and I was never given a breathalizer. Im very responsible and have a lot going for me its frustrating that this is going to affect my future . Im not sure what I should say to the judge or if there are ways to lessen the charges or not have a misdemeanor on my record at all.
