lol at number 1 and 2, breaths smelt, wtf?...they don't have to ask you if you were guilty...it was balantly obivious. a roomfull of underage people +booze=minor in possession...it doesn't matter about the pbt and sobriety shit, it is illegal for a minor to possess booze. Wether you drank it really don't matter, you had possession of it. If you were to fight this in district court you would probably lose and piss the judge off. It would be your word versus the officers, who would be called in to testify...plead guilty, don't try to be a hero...

We are being charged with a Minor in Consumption, NOT a Minor in Possession. Yet they did not even ATTEMPT to gather proof that we actually consumed alcohol. And I read that breathalyzer tests must be reported to the judge during the hearing, so it wouldn't be my word vs the cops, because there was no breathalyzer, that and i have 9 witnessess who all were cited and did not recieve breathalyzer tests. We had three rooms with people constantly coming in and out of them, the alcohol could have been anyones. Yet we get cited for consumption without proof.

If I walk down the street and see a dead body, can I be arrested for the murder just because I am there?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression that "The burden of proof is on the state"

regardless of these minor technicalties, i give you a %80 conviction rate.

"If I walk down the street and see a dead body, can I be arrested for the murder just because I am there?"

piss poor example my friend...you didn't just happen to walk into a random room and get busted. The room was in your name and the booze was found in your room...guilty as charged. Draw this out in court and the judge is a cock come sentencing time.

Bro...you got caught drinking...who the fuck cares? Everyone gets caught drinking underage, you're not gonna get in trouble. Don't make this a bigger deal than it is. You ran the risk of breaking the law, now you gotta pay the piper. No use in arguing technicalities over something so minor.

lifes not fair

cops are even gayer so get used to it and get a lawyer, at least talk to one

Sometimes cops are cool without you really knowing it.

Think about it. Maybe the cops were actually cutting you a break by charging you for a crime that can't be proven.

I once got a speeding ticket. I found out later it was dated for 2 months in the future. I sent the cop's boss a letter saying what a great cop he was.

Cops are smarter than you think

I'm only really planning on fighting this because the cop was a prick and it's a really small town where the hotel is, if I were to win.. a little embarrasment like that goes a long way in a small town

Long, bare with me.

Tonight was my Prom Night. It went great, we got all the pictures done, and made it to the limo pickup on time. We went to dinner at an amazingly over-priced restauraunt (where I got duck that tasted like rubber) and then went to our rooms. I had rented 3 large rooms at a local resort under my credit card. I'm 18. We planned on having 18 people, 6 per room, sleep over.

Prom was pretty good, they played some decent music and my date and I out-freaked everyone on the dance floor.

So we all make it back to our rooms (limo or otherwise) and settle in for some drinking. We had brought with us about 15 bottles of champagne, mo'et, ala'se, a couple 30's of beer, and some hard alcohol. Of the 3 rooms one is a Master Suite connected to the second room which is a Junior Suite. And just next door is the third room, a junior suite.

So the majority of us were partying in the master suite, was great we danced and drank and my date and I went for a nice long bathtub jacuzzi ride

We were a little loud I'm sure. But no one from the hotels or otherwise made any complaints or warning. So my date and I are sitting in the "unconnected" junior suite with 4 other people we had gone to prom with, and 1 person who had just arrived. I'm tied so I say to everyone Im going to bed. Walk over to the master suite, go to brush my teeth and realize I don't have any toothpaste. So I walk back over to the "unconnected" junior suite where everyone, including my date still are, and borrow toothpase, brush my teeth there, and then go to leave. As I'm leaving I asked my date if she wanted to go to bed too. So Off the both of us go to go back to the master suite, we say our goodbyes, and then I literally opened up the door to see two cops standing there.

I'm still a little drunk, tired, and shellshocked, so I'll make the rest of this suite.

What the cops did:
Cop 1: Probably been on the force for quite a while, didn't talk much
Cop 2: Could tell it was at max his 1st month on the job

The 1st cop came in and saw all the alcohol containers, asked who the rooms were rented under, I said I rented the rooms. He asked me who was 21, I said no one. Cop 2 proceeds to write all of us in the room for minor consumption citations. Cop 1 searches through the room, looks through a girls purse, and 3 of my friend's bags. They site us, have us all call our parents to come pick us up, and then leave. They didn't even check the other rooms I had rented that were right next door. So basically I got cited because I needed toothpaste.

WHY THIS IS BULLSHIT:
When the cops barged in they pushed my date into a wall (semi-violently)

The cops presented no warrant to search the room, that's fine because we let them in (technically.... if barging in without asking is letting them in)

BUT the cops presented no warrant to search our BAGS, and PURSES, and BACKPACKS.

Now since we got cited for minor consumption, one could say, "Well they didnt charge you with anything they searched your for, so even if the search was illegal it turned up nothing"

But here's the kicker, we were all cited for minor consumption BUT WERE NOT BREATHALIZED, WERE NOT GIVEN SOBRIEGTY TESTS, NOT EVEN HAD ANY ONE OF OUR BREATHS SMELT.


WTF?

I know I said I'd finish this quick, I'm trying sorry.

STUPID SHIT THE COP SAID:

Once my dad had arrived, I was a little more confident with the police since he also thought it was bullshit. I talked to cop 1, and asked him if he had a warrant for searching our stuff. He said, "You were all under arrest as soon as I walked in the room" NEVER ONCE DID HE TELL US WE WERE UNDER ARREST, AND IF WE WERE, NO ONE WAS READ THEIR 5TH AMEMNDMENT MIRANDA RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND A LAWYER'S PRESENCE. AND IF NOT MISTAKEN YOU CAN'T JUST SEARCH PEOPLE WITHOUT A WARRANT.

"You rented the room fictiously"
I DIDN'T KNOW HOTELS AND RESORTS REQUIRED AN 18 YEAR OLD TO CLASSIFY THAT HE WAS "RENTING WITH INTENT TO DRINK" IN ORDER TO NOT BE FICTIOUS.

Basically, our prom was held in a small town with a bunch of cops who honestly have nothing better to do than **** with kids having a good time, staying safe, and quietly drinking on prom night. I think some of those cops expect a promotion after this "huge bust".

Well I want to fight it, what do you guys think, should I?

post some prom pics bro
