If a cop says they smell alcohol on your breath, but does not give you a breathalizer, then files a report, what do we do to show the cop was wrong? Do we have to do anything in court other than say the cop was wrong and should have given a breathalyzer test.

i was caught in a car with three friends who had open drinks. my friends all got Minor in possession and i got a Minor in Consumption. The police officer witnessed them drinking (reason we got caught) but not me. i did admit to having one sip (i can't lie). How did i get the higher ticket and not them?

If you admit to drinking a couple of beers to the cops, but you are not driving and you do not have any evidence in the car, can they still give you an mip without giving you a breathalizer? If so, what can you do about it once you get to court?
