What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
I went to visit a buddy in TN, went to hang out at a party that was busted by cops. We both ended up with drinking under 21 citations, along with a whole lot of people. I have this court date in TN now. I can't really go back there at that time so I was wondering what my options might be. Are they likely to give me a new date if I ask the court? Could I get an attorney to go for me? And I'm also wondering, what would the process be if I just didn't show? Would there be a warrant over this? Would that just be within TN or could some cop outside TN see that if I got stopped? What would be worst possible scenario of not going? Does TN give you another charge for that?
Also, I acted all innocent to this cop, like it was the first time I talked to a cop in my life. But truth is I do have a MIP case going on back home too - can they find out about each other? Or could I sneak in some diversion thing on both?
Thanks, sorry for so many questions.
