    Default Will the Police Issue a MIP Citation by Mail

    I was at a party last night with my friend and their were about 70-80 people there. A girl made me a drink and I decided to drink it. It was kind of strong but I drank it anyway. Their was a lot of marijuana there so we decided to leave but our truck was boxed in by other vehicles. I told my friend to drive my truck and he agreed, but out of habit I got in the drivers seat. So we are waiting for some of the cars to leave so we can get out and then the cops show up. One cop came up and said they were going to breathalyze everyone driving and just to sit tight. Then another cop came and asked me what I had to drink and I told him a cup of grape juice with a small amount of vodka a few hours ago. He then told me he was going to breathalyze me and asked what my name was, how old I was, and who my parents were. I didn't see him write anything down, but it was dark so I don't really know what he did. I blew a 0.02 and he told me I could go. He didn't breathalyze my friend. I AM INCREDIBLY PARANOID THAT I AM GOING TO GET AN UNDERAGE DRINKING TICKET IN THE MAIL. I live in Mississippi and this is my first run in with law enforcement beside getting a ticket for running a stop sign. I personally think the officers were more concerned with what was going on inside than with me. I mentioned something about the marijuana to one cop and he just walked inside. My question to anyone who has any knowledge about legal issues is, can I get a ticket in the mail? (keep in mind that I was in my truck with tag number visible) I appreciate any replies. Thank you all.

    If he didn't ask for your ID and didn't write anything down, odds are that nothing more is going to come of it. Beyond that, only time will tell.

    well, I can see the invitations to any parties in the future aren't going to show up in your mailbox. Nothing more fun than ratting on your friends, especially when it was something they would have found on their own.

    Did you show the cop your ID?

    I suspect if you were going to get a ticket, something like driving under the influence would have been dealt with on the spot. Given you weren't tossed onto the ground, cuffed, and transported to the station, I doubt you will get any tickets. If they were in the mood to issue tickets, the DUI would have been such a more satisfying bust than MIP.
