    Default Underage Drinking Citation in Colorado

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado

    Im a 17 Year old Male

    my friends and i were having a good time, drinking at my firends house.
    All of a sudden 3 cops are in his house cuz his sisters let them in. There where a few bottles sitting on the table next to us and some beers and there were no parents home. They said that i was drunk and they wrote me a ticket for underage alchohol consuption. they never gave me a sobriety test or a Breathilizer, i never drank although since i was at the house where others were drinking does that mean that i can get a ticket for there mistakes. They took me home and told my parents that i had been drinking.


    So my question is even if i was drinking can they actually give me a ticket even if they have no evidence except for there word.

    Im on probation for drinking already and does that mean that this time ill go to jail for this

    And if they if they have no evidence except for there word and i can do something about this how should i go about in court because my family isnt rich so i can afford the best lawyer.


    Thankyou

    So the cops had legal consent to the home.

    There where a few bottles sitting on the table next to us and some beers and there were no parents home.

    It is called guilt by association... though if you weren't drunk, you may have an out...

    Minor in possession... yes... minor in consumption???? I don't know.

    Oh, and the word is "their"...

    See above.

    What is the exact statutes you were charged with in both cases.

    And if they if they have no evidence except for there word and i can do something about this how should i go about in court because my family isnt rich so i can afford the best lawyer.
    "Their".

    And yes, you need an attorney... especially on a second charge.

    Thankyou[/QUOTE]
