    Default Minor Charged With Possession of Alcohol

    I'm from Los Angeles, CA and im 16 years old. A couple days ago i got caught out past curfew by 3 under covers. We were just sitting there and they came and asked to search all of us. I didn't think i had anything on me but it turns out my friend left their alcohol in my purse which was a can of JOOSE, so i got a possession of alcohol ticket. Luckily they only gave me that and not a curfew ticket. But I'm afraid that im going to lose my license for a year but is there anyway i can get a less bad punishment and not lose my license for that long?? also does anyone know what the normal punishment is for this?
    the ticket says 25662(VC) and is marked with M which i know is a misdemeanor. Is there any way to get it reduced to an infraction?

    im a good student and this is my first time ever getting in trouble. do u think this will affect my punishment in any way?

    what is maximum punishment and what is minimum?

    should i get an attorney or something?

    Default Re: Minor Charged With Possession of Alcohol

    Here is the offense:

    25662. (a) Any person under the age of 21 years who has any
    alcoholic beverage in his or her possession on any street or highway
    or in any public place or in any place open to the public is guilty
    of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of two hundred fifty
    dollars ($250) or the person shall be required to perform not less
    than 24 hours or more than 32 hours of community service
    during hours
    when the person is not employed or is not attending school.

    Plus, the court will be required to suspend your license for one year, but you can petition the court asking for a restricted license due to a critical need to drive.
