What is the name of your state?
I'm 19 years old in Washington and was attending a party at an acquaintances house. The authorities were contacted because of a noise ordinance. Police arrived and separated the people at the party into admitting to drinking…and admitting to not drinking.
I have no criminal background at all (heck, I've never even been given a speeding ticket before).
I admited to the officer that I had 2 beers, but I didn't blow, nor was I asked to.. (I don't know how much of a difference this makes, if any). Also, the ticket says "minor in possession and/or consumption of alcohol".
We all cooperated with the officers 100% and they even said that they'd note that in the report. At this point, my plan is just to talk to the judge and admit that I was being irresponsible and made poor judgements. I'm not denying that what I did was stupid, I know it was and I don't plan on doing it again, but what I'm looking for at this point is a general idea of what I'm going to be facing when I go to court and what I should and shouldn't say. The officer told me probably just a fine, and perhaps a deferral program, and it wouldn't affect my driving at all.. but I have heard stories before and I am just a little curious and don't know what to expect.
Thanks in advance!
