What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI
My daughter had a post graduation party in our backyard last August. The police got word of the party and came by our home, after all but those that were sleeping over had left. They insisted on coming into the house, but my daughter woke me first. The end result was that all three of the kids were given MIP's. My daughter went to court, did her 30 hours of community service and her charges were dropped from her record.
6 months later, the police bang on my door and arrest me for contributing to the delinquency of a minor! They say "the prosecutor decided they had enough evidenc to convict" me.
What evidence? What is the law here and what are my options?
