    Default "Minor in Possession" Alcohol Charge in California

    Hi,

    Last night I got stopped for carrying beer in a cup. I'm 19. The cop said I got charged with an MIP and said that I have to go to court, probably pay a fine ("small" fine, he said) and probably take classes. He also said that my license would be suspended ONLY if I didn't show up to court. I think he was mistaken, because in this forum I read that licenses are suspended automatically. I lost my citation form (stupid, I know), so I don't know if he circled M or I. I wasn't seen drinking anything, and this is my first offense.

    Is there ANY way to avoid my license being restricted/suspended? Any chance in hell?

    See California Vehicle Code Sec. 13202.5. Upon conviction of an MIP charge, you can expect the suspension of your license.

    At this point we don't know the actual charge, which is necessary to fully understanding the consequences. Try to get a copy of your ticket or information about your charge from the court, and consider discussing your situation with a local criminal defense lawyer.
