My question involves criminal law for the state of: NEBRASKA
So my friend got pulled over and charged with an MIP and DUI. I was in the passenger seat and I am of age to drink. The officer nearly forgot about me but when he finally did come over to my door he threw it open and found a beer can under the seat. For this he gave me a open container ticket and threatened that they might include a "procuring to minors charge on the warrant". He handed me off to the other officers I got my ticket and was released. The ticket only had open container on it. Here are a few of my questions:
If it matters I was not breathalized or anything
-Should I get a lawyer?
-Can I get charged for procuring at a later time (my friend said he bought it himself which he did)?
-Did the officer have the right to reach under the seat of the car without permission or a warrant?
-Does something under the seat in a friends car qualify me for an open container?
Thanks guys
