What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
So when I was 17, I was caught in school with an empty water bottle that smelled of alcohol. It was my friend's, and he had asked me to hold it for him because he was afraid that his parents would search his bag. They said that there would be no permanent records of the infraction because I was under 18, that I would just have to pay the fine. Not wanting to cause any problems or drag the issue out, I paid the fine, a little over a $100, thinking that the issue was settled. Now that I'm driving, I can't get on my parents' insurance plan because of the incident. Can I appeal the charge, saying that I am, in fact, innocent, and that I was misinformed of the consequences? Many thanks.
