    Default Minor In Possession and Deferred Sentence

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Hawaii

    Last summer I got an Minor In Possession while at a concert. I have had no prior convictions, and had a question regarding a deferred sentence. I plan to ask the court to have my sentence deferred and was wondering if I do so, will I still have to carry out the sentence for a minor in possession? I know that Hawaii has the use/lose law which mandates a license suspension, community service, and alcohol classes.

    If I do plead a deferred adjudication, will I still have my license suspended? I'm concerned because I don't want a suspension on my driving record. And if my license is suspended and I complete the deferred sentence, will the suspension still show up on the national driving records? Thanks.

    The consequences you face during a deferral will depend upon the nature of the deferral and what's abstracted to the DMV. I suggest talking to a local criminal defense lawyer about your options and likely outcome.

    If you get a suspension, it's going to show up on your driving history.
