Minor in Possession...the consequences differ from state to state.

first try calling the police and file areport. They can help you from there.

You could be, but as the previous poster said, most likely the officials in Ohio won't want to spend the money to get you back for anything minor.  If it had anything to do with a crime against a child though it could be different.\n\nMy advice ... get it taken care of, accept responsibility, do whatever you have to do to make amends, so you don't have to worry about it.

Contact a lawyer.  Make sure you take care of this right away so you aren't charged with something more serious than just parking tickets!  The attorney should also be able to tell you what documentation you will need to show to the court to prove that the car was not in your possession at the time the tickets were issued.

If you had in your possession less than an ounce of marijuana--you will probably have to pay a small fine or do some community service work! \nBeing it your first time and it was only a small amount...you will probably get off pretty easy...it should be only a misdemeanor case...you should not need a lawyer for this...

Of course you have a right to know why. If I was in your situation, I would call the office of the prosecutor who issued to warrant. Inform them who you are, ask why there is a warrant out for your arrest, and arrange a time for you to turn yourself in. It may be something as simple as an unpaid ticket, then they will just want their money and will probably let you go, if it's something more serious, you can decide whether you need to bring a lawyer with you (which you should if they are arresting you). It will look good to the judge if you are willing to face the charges rather then them having to look for you, besides, I wouldn't want a warrant for my arrest hanging over my head. Good luck.

It can go either way...a chance you take. The judge could lessen the charge or ammend it. Or if found guilty you could pay more including court costs, lawyer etc.... I would talk persoanlly to the officer who issued it first, before the court date and ask if he could help you out, provided you did not curse the officer out or spit on him during the traffic stop, or tell him he should stop eating doughnuts.

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...

Concider yourself lucky that it's not over 500 or it would be a felony. \n\nYou will have to be arraigned, plead not guilty, get a lawyer, then you can talk to your lawyer about a lowered sentence. If it's your first time you can probably get community service.

You can try to protest the tickets, but they may say that ignorance of the law is no excuse.  You don't say where you live compared to where you got the tickets (If you live within a few blocks, they will say you should have known).  It also depends on why the yellow curb was painted (Was it near a hydrant or an intersection, in which case, the ticket will probably stand).\n\nYou may at least be able to get one ticket tossed and the other upheld.

If you are charged it won't be that serious since you are a minor, and it will come off your record at 18. Make sure your witnesses are at the trial, so they know you didn't start it and simply say it was defence and getting to a trial can be a very long time. The most that will happen is you would do community service since you are a minor and you didn't start it. I think you are looking for a compulsive liar (someone who lies non-stop).  Drop the money thing...they might say it is a reason why you beat her up!

For minor in possession, officers do not need to give a breath test or sobriety test. The officers can just smell the cup for an alcoholic beverage. From your story the officers definitely have probable cause to believe your son was in possession of alcohol.\n\nAfter an arrest, officers are allowed to search the subject and the area within the subject's immediate control to discover weapons, evidence or any items that can be used to escape.\n\nAlso officers do not need to read a subject his Miranda rights unless they are questioning him while in custody. Officers are allowed to ask general question to determine what has occurred and whether a crime has occurred. Miranda also does not apply to basic information such as name, address, date of birth.\n\nThe mistake on the ticket will not affect the officer's case unless he made several others. This mistake will be considered a good faith error.\n\nYour son appears to be guilty and the officers appear to have operated within the law. I would try to get a diversion if this is available in your area.

Your charges are still recorded but if you were ot convicted or you pleaded to a lesser charge, that infomration should also be available.  Now you may have another option.  If it was your first offense you may be able to get it espongued.  Do a search on this for your state or call your local clerk of court to find out more info.  If they have a problem with it which they likely will, just tell them you're working on getting it espongued.  It may or may not help.\n\nGoodluck!

you may get a lesser sentence if it's a first offense, but i have to say if you were my kid i wouldn't pay for your lawyer.  good luck.

Yes you can.\nIf your record is currently clean they may be talked into a fine and a dismissal of misdemeanor charges and a reduction to a civil infraction. But that is no guarantee.\nHope this helps.
