Looks like I have the worst luck. I live in Michigan and attending college in michigan. I was on probation for another misdemeanor charge for being at the wrong place and wrong time. My probation ends in couple of months. Everything went well with it so far until I got a MIP ticket at my college campus last week. I was not drinking and did not posess any alcohol. Walking with 3 other girls on campus and a cop stopped us. I had a water bottle with crystal light. Two of them had admitted to drinking and they bew nubmers on their test and it was noted on their tickets. Me and another girl who was also not drinking told the cop we were not drinking. I asked the cop to give me Breathalizer and he refused. I told him my bottle contained water and Crystal Light. He did not check. He asked us to dump the bottles and wrote a ticket and when I asked him again to give me the breathalizer, he did not. He told me I can fight the ticket. I asked him if he is going to show up in the court and he said "probably not". I have 3 other people who can vouch for me that I did not had any alcohol. Since then I informed my Probationary officer and she said I have to appear in court for probation violation. She also heard my story and was sympathetic towards me. She said if they drop my MIP charges they will also dismiss probation violation. I am on YTA. I am doing very well academically and not a typical 18 year old who just screws up. My grades are good and I held jobs and did community service (not as part of probation) while in high school. Never even got a speeding ticket.
What are my chances of fighting this ticket and having a clean record ? I have a court date in 2 weeks. Please help.
