My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
Last night I was having my friend drive me from my moms house where I had been drinking with her knowledge, to my dads house. He was not drunk but we had alcohol in the car. An officer pulled me over for a busted headlight. THe driver of the car is still 17 and turns 18 next week and I am 18 so he said he needed the driver to call his parents. He kept walking back to his car when the driver was attempting and finally he came back and said that he smelt alcohol and wanted to know who was drinking. I admitted it was me and then he administered a breathalyzer after that while I was still seated in my car. There was beer in the backseat but I don't know how I could be charged for possession without them taking any or even telling me that they saw it since it was fairly covered up. Also I know there are specific procedures for breathalyzers and such and I was wondering if any could possibly have been broken. Also do you reccommend I hire an attorney and what can I expect if I plead guilty. Btw I have a clean record and dont even have a speeding ticket on there. Thank you
