    Default Re: Possesion Of Alcohol by a California Minor

    real simply, having a clean record, and being charged with my first MIP, and I am turning 21 in 4 months, and no breathalizer test was given, when I go to court what exactly do I say...and HONESTLY, what are the odds that I will get my license suspended? And does it pretty much depend on the mood of the judge? b/c I know ppl who have gotten this same offense and the judge just made them pay a fine, and i dont know anyone who got a license taken away but on this forum it seems like that is exactly what is going to happen, so im confused...please help, im going to court end of this wk, thanks for all your help!

    No one can say what the odds are of your license being suspended. I am not familiar enough with your courts to know how they might go with it. If you have friends cited for the same thing and they have not had their license suspended, tha is probably a good indicator.

    I posted this on my original thread, but since I asked a fair amount of questions on this on too I thought I'd post it here as well...

    I just went to court earlier this morning (after being given a citation for a minor in possession of alcohol, BP 25662(a)) and i was terrified that I was going to get my license suspended. I just felt that it was necesary to report what ended up happening b/c this could ease the minds of anyone in my same position. The person who went right before was an 18 yr old who was charged with the same minor in possession of alcohol and he was fined 190 dollars and his license was suspended for a year. For my situation the judge noticed that I was turning 21 in four months and that the infraction occured 6 months before my 21st bday, and before she asked me if i plead guilty or not guilty to the MIP, she gave me the option to plea guilty to a lesser offense (i believe it was an infraction code 415 or something) which is "disorderly conduct"/"disturbing the peace," which is only punishable by a fine, so my license was not suspended and all I had to pay was 190 dollar fine...which I paid directly after the sentencing (at the court) and the citation is now off my record. Thanks for all the help.
