yea, i dunno if u guys rember, but i was arrested for buying beer under age w/ a fake id, well i got my tickets, and talked to a lawyer, he says i will definately not have a lisence suspension, just fines.... court will be in a little bit, he cost 500$, and all yall were telling me it was gonna be like a G or more.....
-
I remember,
y did he assure u no license suspension?
-
you're still a moron, paying $500 for shit that the majority of us already told you....i think you owe me a little bit of that $500 :P
-
only your lawyer cost $500, on top of that your gonna have to pay the fines, plus your gonna somehow have to make up for the license supsension, in some other way such as community service. so yah, your still dumb.
-
yeah, i dunno about the states, but my homie got done with car theft (his moms hah hah hah) - and he was suposed ta be taken to court, but shiit never hapend, no money spent..
Foo'
-
im dumb for doing it, but everyone was saying YOUR GETTING IT SUSPENDED, and YOURS SPENDING LIKE 1-2 K on a lawyer, well fuck u... the lawyer reasured me because, he knows the charges, he kjnows the judge, and i didnt fuckin drink, just purchased,.... yea 500 plus like 5-7 hundred in fines, maybe comunity service or alcohol classes, its ok, i just need my lisence,
-
what a country is that. lol yall are always so proud about living in freedom and shit.. unbelieveable. 1200$ for purchasing alcohol (beer!!) at 20 (!!!!!).. (I dont even get what the FUCK that has to do with a driver's license)
here you can drink the shit out of you at 16 and it's completely legal. and if youre only 13 drinkin the shit out of you you dont have to pay shit. youre just taken home. what the hell.
lol when Im in america in 2 years (Im 20 then) and Im not allowed to buy a beer.. lol I can hardly imagine such a thang.
-
you're not dumb for doing it... most of us have bought alcohol while underage... you're just an ass for getting caught ;D
-
7even, yours so right, its sad... and yea i am a shmuck for getting caught, i gotta be more carefull, its funny tho,... but america doesnt understand.. they dont care, they are too arogant to change.. but also... theres so many people that do dumb shit i cant blame amerioca, like 14 year old kids drinking and driving stolen cars, just teens w/ lisences driving... teens doing stupid shit wile driving, but with all that.. if at 18 i can die for my country and vote for my stupid president, i should be able to get wasted
-
Im just curious why you hired a lawyer tho? Lawyers are not magic. the law is the law. You can do the same thing that your lawyer is going to do, and that is bargain with the judge. You hire a lawyer for much bigger cases, not something petty like this.
If it is your first offense, and you told the judge the truth of what happened, and explained a good story of what you HAVE to have your license for, and offered an exchange of punishments, I'm damn near 98% sure most any judge would go for it. I know this from personal experience, multiple times. I have even just written a letter twice to the judge, and got the og sentence reduced, and this was both times after not showing up for court. You wasted $500 bro, maybe not in your eyes, but I think you did.

^^^ i dont get it....
and i dont think i hired a lawyer. Personaly, 500 is not THAT much for me, if its 100% i wont get lisence suspended. Lawyers are not magic, but are usually (in this case yes), freinds with the judge, meaning its a lot easier, plus, u think the judge gives a fuck, i had a fake if and bought beer, he dont give a fuck about me, he will suspend my lisence and thats it, lawyers know what they are doing, thats why i got 1

It is what it is..
There's stupid rules, laws & regulations almost everywhere..
The States do have a lot of them, regardless of how patriotic some of them are, it can't be denied.

Regardless of the laws, you're still dying to get here. You've got a calendar, with a big X on it 2 years from now... "Happiest Day of My life" penciled in above.
You hate it, but you know it's true.

Yeah every1 is dying to move to North Carolina ;D

i knew u guys had that crazy age limit, but i didnt know it was actually enforced this vigorously. It's kinda scary that the government think your responsible enough to drive at 16 but too irresponsible to drink at 20.
Over here the age limit is 18, and the kids usually buy with fake ID. I'm 19 and i'm a barman in a club and i have to say that theres reallly no difference in maturity between 18 and 21, i really dont understand it.
Like trauma said, i'll look forward to visiting america to work and travel for a summer, when im 21, but it's kinda fucked up that we've been adults for 2 yrs here and we're a kid when we go to the states. If anything it really discourages young tourists from going, giving the european countries an unfair advantage
-
There's a HUGE difference in maturity between somebody who is 18, and somebody who is 21.
-
haha yeah, there is a pretty big difference between 18 and 21. 18 ur still a high school senior, and by 21 you're prob a senior in college. you mature so much during that time. unless you're just a stupid fuck that stays the same.

Damn!! I just got a $29 jay-walking ticket. Fuck that. I'm calling Johnny Cochran. ;D

^^LMAO...I dunno where u live, but I got caught drinking, and the police just told me to put my shit away...You probably live in Virginia or some shit.

Yea, usually Cops don't trip. I remember me and my boy split a bottle of Grolschlager(spelling) and had a few beers before the Club. We on the freeway and the cops pulled us over. They made him touch his nose, stand on one leg, etc. and let him go. They came to my side and told me, "how much have you drank?" I told em, "nothing." He looked at me and said, "I smell it on your breath, how much did you drink?" "Only 1 or 2 beers." He asked for my idea, he's like "You're not even old enough to drink." I was 18 at the time, but since my boy passed he just gave me back my ID and we bounced.
BTW, you're still an idiot for getting caught and even dumber for getting a lawyer.

The news have a gang of stories on tv this week bout underage drinking and arrests because it's high school graduations week.

wow, give that cop a medal.... i dont know any cops in my area that would let kids go, if they knew they drank... and i am dumb for getting caught, but not for getting a lawyer, i would have 6 or more month lisence suspension

doesn't matter if you already have drinken the beer if your underage, they can't do shit for that. you have to actually have the beer in your hands.
and college towns bust people for this all the time. the police in towns ain't got shit else to do, and the tickets bring in a shitload of money. I have lived in 2 college towns, and the pigs would luv giving out these types of tickets. they would even go undercover and bust people. It's not about being stupid getting one of these tickets most the time, its a matter of bad luck. I know many people, including myself, that just got extremely unlucky.

Not true. If you have the beer in your stomach, you are still in 'Possession' of it. That’s the way it is in Oregon, and the way it is in San Diego, and I'd imagine, in all of California.
I say good job on getting a lawyer. It's a smart move. Did you check out free legal representation first? Most of the lawyers are shit, but for small things like you got, it's better than nothing or paying full price for a lawyer. Anyways, keep us updated and good luck.

i agree with 1 about the 1st point, if they give u a breathalizer, and u have even .0000000000000000001, and ur under 21, UNDER AGE DRINKING, im sure if ur 20, they wont be dick, but... 18, they will
and about the free lawyer, no i didnt, i dont care about the 500 that much... i spend that much in a weekend. (im not rich or anything, just...). plus i was expecting a lot more...

naw man, you can't get in trouble in california for having drinkin alchol if you are underage. Unless you are drunk, then you get a drunk in public (only if you are in public), but you can get that no matter what age. but if a cop gets a noise complaint at a party, and everyone is drunk but there is no alcohol left, the cop can only give a noise violation. You can't get a drunk in public cause your on private property, and you can't get a minor in possession, cause you don't possess any alcohol.
Just like if you just smoked a joint in the park with your boys. about 5 min after you finish it a cop sneaks up on ya and can still smell it. as long as no one still has weed, the cop can't do shit, even tho everyone is stoned.
The only way a cop can prove that you have been drinking, is if:
A) he sees you drink
or
B) he give you a breathalizer
and you don't ever have to take a breathalizer, unless you are driving. So pretty much a cop cannot prove that an minor has been drinking unless he sees you, you admit to it, or you agree to a breathalizer test.
-
That makes no sense at all.
I'd be willing to bet you $10 bucks that isn't the case.
If you have the alcohol in your stomach, you still possess it.
