Can i get in trouble for possesion of alcohol even if its not my car and its closed.

Question

Five of my buddy's were gonna go to mickey dez and we get pulled over with a closed beer in the car and we are all under age. So the cop made us do test and we all pass exept two of us and those two were the passangers. So the cops asked us who beer it was and the buddy that didnt pass the test said it was his can we still get charge with anything??

Answer 1

It depends on your state. Every state has different laws so it would be smart to check with where you live. In most states yes...you can be charged. In some states it is also illegal to ride in in a vehicle with someone who has been drinking and is now driving.

Answer 2

The underage driver of the car can be charged for being minor in possession.

The person who said it was his beer can be charged with minor in possession.

If you are neither of those people, you probably will not be charged.

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

Yes, minor in possession.  If your buddy didn't fess up, all of you could have been charged, the cop gave you guys a break.
