Who knows-im sure you will get a harsh sentance,1st time drug offenders are frowned upon and they want to lock you up for years. But SEX offenders-they got it made-here in norwalk california they move them into the best western motel-right across the street from chucky cheese and an elementary school around the corner. Everything is a** backwards here.And everywhere else.

The laws are same as most other countries. If someone is caught with upto 2 gms of narcotic substance then he(or she) may face smaller sentence (usually 1 year). If someone is caught is more than 2 gms or several packets then he is considered as a dealer or seller and can be punished with harsher jail sentence (more than 3 years). Also, if the police finds evidence of someone funding purchase of narcotics then such people are also treated as sellers of narcotic.\n\nHowever, there are some forms of intoxication (that are as good as narcotics) like - Ganja (I am not sure what it is called in English) - that are in use for many centuries and no one is caught for smoking it.

Probably a violent/illegal substance/sex crime or any felony. Then again this is Oregon we're talking about.

Depends on the facts of the case.  Is the older sister of age?  Were there any tragic outcomes (traffic crash, DUI arrest, death, etc.)? \n\nIf nothing happened, it is likely to be a Class A misdemeanor, which means a fine of at least $500 and up to 1 year in prison for a first offense.  \n\nHere is a link to some general information:\n\nhttp://www.fightunderagedrinking.org/state_prof/Illinois.pdf

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

depends on where you live and what your record is.  if first time in nj, six months loss of license plus education, drug treatment (probably outpatient) and probation.  Lots of fees.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!

First drugs are illegal so a punishment goes there.\nUnder the use of drugs an act of crime occurs, may not have if accused was clean.\nConsider priors he/she may have.\nThen put together a jail term and a drug rehab program.\nI would suggest  a 3 to 5 year  sentence and less time for good behavior.  \nYes you are right about a killing being less time. That really stinks.

you will be given something called P.T.I, which means you will be fined and probation, but you cannot get in trouble for 12 months if you do then the drug charge will come back to you. The fine will be approximately $600.00 if you were pulled over meaning you were driving you will also be given a surcharge of around 125.00 a year for 3 years.\n\nTo be exact the fine is as followed.\n\n225.00 for possesion of under 50 grams\n175.00 for possesion of paraphenalia\n100.00 for safe neighborhood\n100.00 court cost\n\nAnd to be more clearer the probation isnt a probation where you have to go see a probation officer it just means you cannot be caught with any drugs in that years time. Also be forwarned they will do random drug tests..

What state are you located in?  Could be probation for a while.  Up to 28 days in a county jail... or fine of up to $5000. Note, going to jail is very rare and highely improbable.. dont worry you might just get probation  or fined/

Patronizing Prostitution is a misdemeanor in Tennessee, but the actual jail time if any is dished out on a case by case basis.  While a person may get off with a fine, some cities such as Nashville, Tennessee make the identity of the person arrested public.

California, Florida, or any other state should have a minimum penalty of 10 year for possession of Cocaine. If you play them you have to pay.

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.
