My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina
a friend of mine was cited with an underage consumption charge the other day. the cop didn't even ask if they had been drinking (just worked off the assumption). there was no breathalyzer blown, blood drawn, any form of admission of guilt, possession of any form of alcohol on their person or anywhere in the immediate area.
is the law 1 sided or can they use all of these facts in their defense?
