My question involves criminal law for the state of: District of Columbia
Ok, I really messed up this past weekend and am now really worried about the consequences (as I should be). I am an undergraduate college student, and I threw my first party at my townhouse - that is part of University property. THe Police came to break it up, which I was surprised about since everyone told me they never break up parties in the summer. Anyway, I went outside to talk to the three officers. I apologized and they were understanding, but then said I am presuming you are 21 or else we are going to have to cite and fine you. I was really nervous and said yes, I am 21 (even though I am still 20). they asked for ID and so I showed them my student ID and fake ID (with my name on it). It is a really good fake, and they bought it, but they wrote down my info from that - so a bogus address and DOB, and returned it to me.
I talked to them for a while and was very sorry the party got out of hand. They were very nice, and just made me kick everryone out of the party, which I did. I then asked them about consequences and they said, there are really no rules for these summer parties and I was not going to receive any punishment. I did not get issued anything like a citation, and they siad nothing about charging me or setting up court date/getting something in mail (although I did have to give them my phone number). Then they left and just said they had to come by because a neighbor had complained about noise and so it was their job to break it up and keep tabs on it. So, I was a little relieved because I had not been charged with anything and they told me I was going to receive no punishment.
However, can they still charge for me something later? and will they look me up and find out that I gave them a fake ID? I really shouldnt have, I was just so nervous at the time and froze. Should I just watch out for something in the mail? ONe of my friends said they bust parties all the time and get the info of the onwer of the house, but then never do anything with it unless they say they are going to file charges. So does that I mean I am off the hook? How long do I have to worry about the finding out I gave them a fake?
Thanks so much - I am really nervous, never been in trouble with the law before.
