Yeah so last night we throw a kegger at our place. As expected, the cops come later on. I was holding a regular red cup, and the cop asks to come talk to me. He assumes there is alcohol in the cup (which there was) and asks me what I was drinking. I reply "kool-aid." Then the cop says "yeah whatever, im going give you a mip."
The question in my mind now is, why am i getting a mip, strictly because the cop THINKS i had alcohol in the cup. The cop didnt ask to smell the drink, and i wasnt given a breathilizer.
So im asking all the people on this board with legal experience, is it possible to fight this ticket? My court date is in a month and if i can get out of it relatively easily, it would be better than paying the $147 fine.
