I was hanging out with my friend and we decided to hang out at a park in Newport beach with some other people and e were sitting on a wall with alcohol behind the wall, my friend had one in his hand as he was going to throw it away but saw police and left it where it was, so when they walked up the beers were still where they had been in the first place, now to mention we are both minors and I had pot they didn't charge me for in fact I stomped on it and was let off for it, I also said I did not consent to any searches and was grabbed and searched as a result, now I was only given a ticket for open container possession in public is this worth fighting in court or should I make things easier and pay the fine? I do not want this on my record because I have priors but are now closed cases but I am afraid it will interfere with the current charge. This happened in Newport beach california.
