    Default MIP for Consumption, How Should I Plead

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan.
    My friend and I were driving home from Taco Bell at 2:30 in the morning. He was driving 15 under and speeding up slowly so they pulled us over. He failed the sobriety test, but blew 0's. They took him to the hospital, gave him an OUI for THC in his system.

    My part is, they asked me if I had been drinking, I said I was sober. He asked me to blow and I would not because the officer was clearly going to give me an MIP regardless. He asked if I was sober why wouldn't I blow, and I said because even if I had .01 in my system, he would give me an MIP. He says "so you have been drinking?" I say "No." Then he said "don't play this game with me." and proceeded to write me up for an MIP, although I never further admitted to anything.

    I was sober at the time. I had drank 2 beers between 11-12 and it was 2:30 AM when I got pulled over.

    My question is what should I plea in court tomorrow? Any help is greatly appreciated as not knowing the law is what got me here. Also, I hear it is one of the better judges, but I don't really know.

    It's a bit late for us to be telling you how to plead, but if you took the time to read some threads you no doubt learned that we would have suggested that you talk to a criminal defense lawyer about ways you might be able to avoid a conviction.

    If you actually thought your BAC was zero, it was downright stupid of you to refuse the PBT.
