Hotel Deals
jervez911 asked:
Ok this is the deal. I was asked to pick a friend up at a motel. So I went to pick him up. I went inside and he was not there so i went back outside. When I came out of the door there was a group of Police on there way to that room. I did not have a beer or anything in hand. I was asked if i had been drinking and said no. I didnt get a sobriety test or breathorliser. Needless to say the police officer gave me a citation for MIP and MIC. Because I had access to the beer. I am 20 and live in Webster TX, and dont have the funds for a expencive lawyer. Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Also I have my arranment on Dec 20th.
I have a pretty clean record. Had speeding ticks but got dismissed and the only thing that would look bad on my record is a Expired Inspection sticker

Whats your criminal record? Do you have any priors? If you are clean, you should speak to the District Attorney assigned to the case. You can call the DAs office, give them your name and they will be able to hook you up with the DA involved. But you need to be straight with them on what went down and they may or may not make a deal with you, depending on your record.

OK….in order to fight this you will need a lawyer….if they did not give you a test then they can’t prove you were in consumption…so you should get that dropped…..however, the MIP might be tough….you were seen in the room and were in reach of the beer, so they should have given you a ticket….thats the law…it don’t matter if you were there for two hours, or two minutes…..a lawyer might be able to fight that but without one you might be in trouble.
