    Default Charged With a Misdemeanor for Possessing a Fake ID

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I am under 21 and am an undergraduate student. I was pulled over and blew .035. So I got a zero tolerance policy infraction for that.

    But also the cop found my fake ID and charged me with a Misdemeanor for PC 470b.

    I have several other friends that are in college that have been caught with a fake ID and charged with an infraction instead. I think they were charged with BP 25661. I am wondering what the differences were, and what my possible options are. My biggest concern is to avoid the permanent misdemeanor conviction.

    I appreciate any help that I can get.

    Default Re: Fake Id Charge

    Fortunately for you, unless the state can show that you intended to use the ID for forgery, that charge (PC470b) is a tad overdone. So, that may be dropped ... or, modified by the prosecutor to an appropriate offense.
