What is the name of your state? MICHIGAN
My prom night was May 17th. Long story short there was a large after party, it got busted by the cops and they gave everyone MIP's. Some breathalyzed while others (including myself) were given a ticket based off the failure of a field sobriety test. 23 kids in total were given MIP's and some choose to plead guilty because of summer vacations and all who pleaded guilty were given 12 months probation. I was wondering if there was any hope of pleading NOT guilty for a lesser sentencing because this punishment is ridiculous and anyone with a brain knows it doesn't fit the crime even though it was illegal it was in a controlled environment with parents (who already got screwed for hosting). Another question I have is if I plead not guilty can they make me drug test on my pre-trial date which is July 8th. I haven't met with my lawyer yet so I'm not sure but I know all the previous kids who pleaded guilty were subject to a drug test within 24 hours but I wasn't sure if the same rules apply for me since I will most likely be pleading not guilty instead of guilty like them. In doing so, my trial will most likely include a later date for the actual trial and then another later date for the sentencing. Anyone have any answers for me????What is the name of your state?
