Minor Consumption in Minnesota
I received a Minor for Consumption in
Minnesota this past weekend. I am
20 years old and I have nothing on
my record at all. I was the passenger
in a car that had a sober driver. We
were pulled over because we had
snow on our license plate (which I
think is a bullshit excuse, it was 2am
and we looked young and we were at
St. Cloud State, one of the biggest
drinking schools... he wanted to pin
us for drinking). I had two beers the
whole night and blew a .045! Which
is nothing. I was issued a ticket for
$183. Which I think is rather harsh
for me drinking two beers all night. I
am wondering if it is worth it for me
to try and fight this? Would I be able
to plead not guilty even though I
obviously was drinking since I blew a
.045? I didn't drink much but I am
still not 21. Also if I don't fight it will
this go on my permanent record? Will
people be able to see this when I am
looking for a job? I am a good kid, I
get good grades and I am going to
school to be a doctor. I also do not go
to school in Minnesota and my court
date is set for a wednesday. Is there
any way I could get this day switched
if it is worth fighting? Thank you.
