What is the name of your state?
Michigan. I received a ticket for open intox last weekend and I am trying to determine whether I should hire a lawyer to represent me. I was not driving, my boyfriend was because I had been drinking and we were pulled over for a defective headlight. I had a bag with an open half pint in it on the floor, I was not drinking in the car. I am going to nursing school and cannot afford this on my record. Is this usually treated as a serious violation? Especially since I was not drinking? Thank you.
