The other night after leaving a party my friends and I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. Well we had been drinking ,driver was fine and passed a sobriety test. The cops decided to card everyone and I’m the only one underage, so I admitted to having a few and got an MIC because I figured I would get one anyway through the breathalyzer. My question is if the cop didn’t take a statement, nor Breathalyzer me will that stand up? The cops were a bit unorthodox as well. They asked the driver, knowing it wasn’t her car, to search it. They gave only me a ticket as well when the owner of the car had a broken tail light and an open container. Finally what is the chance if this is my first offense ever of getting it deferred off my record (It’s a class c misdemeanor)? Please no moral high horse, I realize it was stupid and my mistake alone. I simply want to know the legality of the situation.
