    Question Consumption and Possession Of Alcohol In Utah

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: so me and my buddies were out in his jeep and we 4 wheeled into this one spot where no one can see us and he cracks out a bottle of ten high whiskey and one of the girls had to go pee. and she notices cars out their so my friends get freaked out. 2 of them are already trashed! My friend that was driving decieds to take off. I didn't want him driving. i felt safer at the spot we 4 wheeled into. Well we get driving and we go for awhile and i'm about to get out of the car because of all the arguing in the car and i decieded to just stay.
    BAD idea! 5 mins later a cop rolls up we proceed as normal and next thing we see are lights. he immidiatly has my buddy lance get out. takes him down for no reason. then makes me get out and smokes fly out when he opens my door. then tells us all to get out of the car. my friend lance gets a dui. and the rest get consumption/possesion of alcohol. the cop took my license with out saying anything to me or my mom when she picked me up. What am i facing with how long i don't have my license and what fines?

    will a judge go that harsh on a 1st time offender? i've never been in trouble with the law at all.

    Speaking broadly, first offenders typically get probation.
