ok im 17, and i live in michigan. I've never got in trouble with the cops before.
i was at a party the other night and everyone was drinking. everyone was under 21, and the cops gave everyone an MIP (minor in possesion) because everyone had to do a breathalizer test.
i have a court date in about a month. my mom knows, but i was wondering, 1. what most likely is going to happen when i go to court. and 2. is there any way that i could possibly not tell my dad. he and i already dont have a very good relationship, he doesnt trust me for various reasons.
thanks

Reading it all is probably a good idea so you are informed of MIP laws in your state, but you want to take note of #3 if this is your first offense.
If this is your first offense, you will have to pay court costs and likely fines. You may have probation, but no jail time, and nothing on your record.
As for your dad, I don't honestly know, nor will I dare make a guess.
