Question

I gave police consent to search my mothers car that I was driving, they found an un opened bottle of alcohol and cited me for minor in possession of alcohol, me nor my mother consume alcohol, it was purchased as a gift for a realitive, the officer also confiscated the bottle. Since it isn't my car shouldn't the judge dismiss the charges? Also I was cited for running a stop sign which I didn't run but admitted that I may have since I was in a hurry to get home, the officer said he should have pulled the guy in front of me over too but he's "never pulled two cars over at once singe didn't want too" what are my chances in getting both charges dropped and what should I do or say in court?



Answer

Well, you are a minor and you were in control of a bottle of alcohol. Intent, or "I didn't know anything" are not relevant. On the other hand you can plead not guilty and tyell your story to the court and maybe you'll get some slack.
