Legal Question in DUI Law in Florida

20 year old on Spring Break in Destin Fla. Walks off Beach with adult beverage. Police site for minor under the influence. Do not administer field or breath test. Take thumb print and SS# and site for $250.

Shouldn't citation be for open container or drinking in public?

What options for visiting minor?

Thanks

Without a breath, blood or urine test, then there is no law you broke except for possible minor in possession. The police might amend the charge later but you should talk to an attorney in the Destin area to be sure there is something you could do.
