MIP Alcohol

[Buttons12345]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

My girlfriend(age:19),her brother(age:27), and I (age:19)drove down to an area which is pretty much isolated theres alot of woods and its about 3 mins from her house.We brought 6 quarts of budlight(2 were budlight lime) and 2 quarts of MickysIce,which we kept in her brothers backpack.We all opened up a beer(her brother Mickys and us budlight)We both had barely taken a sip when a gamewarden approached us in the woods.(He did NOT see us take a sip or see us holding the beer,he just saw the beer sitting in front of us,he left for a minute and her brother put all the beer by him)He came back and brought us to his truck and asked us about the beer.I admitted to drinking in front of the gamewardens truck,(I dont know if they have a hidden camera that can hear us talking from the outside of the truck)When he spoke to my girlfriends brother he said it was all his beer though and that he likes to drink alot of different types of beer.My girlfriend and Icame up with a story to keep her bro from getting in trouble for buying us beer by saying a bum bought us beer beforehand though.The cop did not breathalize us,he did however take a picture of us with 6 empty beer bottles in front of us on the ground.Her brother says he would appear in court as a witness by saying it was all his beer.(The cop made us pour out all the beer that was budlight and budlime but not her bros beer which was the mickys) Here is my plan. First theydid not breathalize us. on our copy of the citation it does not say anything about us admitting to drinking any beer. It says that we were holding it but we were not holding it in hand.. Is this case beatable?If not what kind of punishment could I expect?

You possessed alcohol, admitted to possessing alcohol, and were photographed in possession of alcohol. What makes you think that "minor in possession" requires more than your admitted, documented possession?

Talk to a local lawyer about whether there may be a way to get diversion, or some other disposition short of a conviction. What you will get? That depends on your record. If it's clean I would expect fines, probation, and depending upon the exact charge possibly a driver's license violation - a lot of states do that now for MIP offenses.
