What is the fine for a California MIP (Minor in Possession) mistameaner?
485587
depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

He's asking about California.  \n\nThe question is nonsense, however.  Section 1538.5 of the Penal Code is the statutory mechanism that allows unlawfully obtained evidence to be suppressed (kept out of court).  A 1538.5 hearing is held at the request of the defendant to determine if the government followed "the rules" when it obtained evidence to be used against a defendant in a criminal case.\n\nFor example, if a defendant is charged with possession of drugs based on a search of his person, the defense may file a 1538.5 motion to challenge the search.  The defendant may take the position that the search was unlawful and ask the Court to exclude the evidence obtained as a result of the unlawful search.  \n\nIn Danny's case, a 1538.5 motion might be filed to contest the legality of the checkpoint, the observations of his sobriety made by the officer who initially detained him, the observations made by the officer who evaluated him and ultimately arrested him, and/or the function of the breath machine or other chemical testing procedure.  There might even be more issues, but those are the significant ones.\n\nSo while the question really doesn't make sense, it at least shows the poster has an idea of what's going on.  A 1538.5 hearing is used to determine if the government did the things it's allowed to do by law and didn't violate anyone's constitutional rights.\n\nDanny - see my other answer to your first question.  I applaud your interest in safeguarding your rights.  However, if you acknowledge (even if only to yourself) that you were driving in violation of the laws in California concerning DUI (driving a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher) then I'm left feeling like you need to accept that you potentially could have killed someone (or yourself) that night, and take your lumps.  If you think you can get off on a technicality, go for it if you want.  But really...you know if you were guilty or not, no matter what the legal beagles end up saying, and if you should be punished for making a bad decision, then take it and move on.  I know it's expensive and I know it has a *profound* impact on your life...but the impact you might have had on other lives that night makes your concerns look childish.\n\nEDIT 2/12/06: James F...I know, but that does not stop defendants from filing supppression motions against them.

Consult the clerk of the court where the violation occured. You may have to pay a fee for the info.

im not positive about illinois, but i got arrested for underage drinking when i was 17 and i only got $100 fine, and had to go to a group court alternative. if it a happened again though i would get $250 fine, 250 hours community service and counceling and my lisense taken away till i was 21. i hope that gives you an idea, if not just call the juvenile court in your area and ask.

I don't know about the Feds but under California law a few years ago the fine was $1,350.00.

Where did you file the report in the first place. Unless you filed the report at a state police outpost which i cant imagine you would do it would still be were it was filed such as your county pd or city pd that is were you would pick it up but as the person above said there is normally a 5-10 dollar fee to get this report. remeber though if you filed this in Indy make sure its the same station you filed it at good luck and i hope you dont have to pay for a laptop that was stolen

It depends on the charge if it is just minor in posession then it will probably be a fine and some kind of community service or something.

Jail time, and suspension or possible loss of liscence. A HEFTY fine.

MOst likely it will be a Fine and if its a smaller town community service. \n\nMost areas do not send people to jail for that charge unless it is a repetitive offence

Talk to the prosecutor before you have to pay the ticket. Alot of times they will either reduce or dismiss it. I had one dismissed yesterday by talking to the prosecutor a couple counties over here in Indiana.

so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.

Petty Theft (under $400) - Misdemeanor\n\nGrand Theft (over $400) - Felony\n\nBurglary (entering a structure with the intent to commit a theft) - Felony\n\nEmbezzlement (stealing from a place where you are employed) - Felony\n\nHowever, the gravity of the charge will ultimately be determined by the District Attorney.  They can lower a Felony to a Misdemeanor if they choose.  If the charge is currently a Felony, ask your attorney if you make a plea of guilty will the District Attorney lower the crime to a Misdemeanor in exchange for the plea. It is a very common exchange.

It depends on the misdemeanor and the state.

Actually, we usually take enforcement action against anyone careless enough to be breaking the law in front of us...speeders, murderers, and even people wearing headphones.\n\nYou didn't say what county you're in, and that would matter. \n\nIn Siskiyou, RIverside and Kern, it's 96.00.  In Santa Clara, it looks like it might only be 35.00.  \n\nThe Court will mail you a notice eventually, and if you just can't wait until then, call the court where you're supposed to appear and ask them how much the total bail will be.  They'll be happy to help.
