What is the name of your state?
Alberta, Canada
I was drunk a couple nights ago and picked up by the police to go to the drunk tank. For some reason in my drunken stupor I refused to give them my ID. so they eventually did a search on me, found my wallet and were able to ID me. now they are charging me with obstruction of a peace officer for refusing to identify myself.
i have no previous charges or anything and it was totally out of character as I was completely drunk and don't really remember much of it. i have a court date set for about a month from now. i'm wondering what the possible outcome could be, and what my best defence or plea strategy should be. i don't really have enough money for a lawyer, but if the punishment will be harsh enough I will find a way of getting some money for a lawyer.
thanks.
