Will you get probation for your 1st offence if it was a minor in consumption?

Question

Ive never been into any trouble with the law. I wasnt driving i was just drinking in the backseat. I was just wondering what i should be expecting in court, i also dont know what to do or say in court. Im really scared ive never been to court in my life!

Answer 1

More than likely you will get probation and have your license suspended. I would advise anyone to get an attorney in a situation like this. If you decide to go to court without an attorney, say as less as possible to the judge. Keep your answer simple and short, otherwise you can find yourself behind bars instead of on probation.

Answer 2

Probably just a fine, an alcohol awareness class and some community service.  Probation at the very worst

Answer 3

it happened to me years and years ago. i paid a fee for a drug meeting/ testing thing. almost like probation but it was a program. had to go to AA once a week, whole ordeal lasted 3 months and it was dismissed in court

Answer 4

First offense they go easy.  The question is, how many times will it take for you to learn, alcohol and cars don't mix.
