Speak Up! - View Question #515 |
 printer friendly version
Question: If a minor is caught with alcohol and the police officer writes down their name but does not take them to the police station, will this go on their record?
Answer: The police officer has several choices in this case. Sometimes a warning is given and nothing else is done. Sometimes the name is put on a 'field card' which is used to keep track of people who frequently cause problems. The officer might also choose to write a report about the incident and then give the report to juvenile court. If through juvenile court some type of consequences are given for the offense, the record will show the consequences and will also show the person's level of cooperation.

hey officer...tell me this...why should anyone be expected to deal with the problems caused by an MIP like an adult if they are not treated like adults in as much as they are not allowed to drink alcohol? Think about that!

The best way to avoid an MIP citation is don't drink alcohol. I know that won't happen, so when you do get a citation, suck it up and deal with it like an adult. Take your lumps and move on. It's your fault you get caught don't blame it on the cops.
