Tonight I was stopped walking into my apartment with a backpack full of beer. The officers took me into the apartment office, made me blow, asked me a few questions, and then wrote me a ticket. My question is, I blew all 0's and every beer was accounted for in the box, but the ticket says minor possession/consumption, if I haven't had anything to drink, and I'm just carrying the beer in my backpack, how can they give me a tick for possession/comsumption?? Why is it not just possession?? Would it be worthwhile to hire an attorney, or would that just cost me more in the longrun?? And finally, the officer said if I paid the ticket (around $300), and pleaded guilty it would more than likely be reduced to a disorderly conduct and not sent to the states attorney/put on my record....is this correct and what is the likelyhood of that??
