My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia, City of Virginia Beach
I was the third passenger in the car (Not driving). And the driver and passenger unaware to my knowledge had a open alcoholic beverage. When we got to VA Beach there where two cops on horses and looked in the window saw that there was an open container and made us stop. I was in the back seat and the cops didn't know i was there until 10 minute in to the traffic stop. They took me out of the car and i told them that i was drinking earlier in the day, and the cop asked if i was drinking in the car i was NOT. I then had to do a breathalyzer test where the officer did not tell me what i blew. I then was told i was being charged with Illegal possession of Alcohol (Law section A. 1-305) This is my first offense other than traffic stops and i am 20 , i am a full time worker and part time student is there anyway this will be removed off my recored?
The cop also told me about Virginia First Offender Law that would help get this off of my record how does this work?
Also was wondering what the outcome will be? I can not afford a lawyer and i am going to represent myself, how should i plea?
