Would you trade cell phones for drinking legally at tailgates, Mardi Gras, Spanish Town, St Pats, etc.?


Good question. I use my phone for a lot. But I use it less everyday I think. But idk. I don't really drink enough to feel like it's worth it. So I'll keep the cell phones.

Let me tell you how to do this. Go to court, plea guilty, pay $190 (price in 2013), profit. Don't do any pre trial or 894. No potential employer hiring a 23-24 year old is going to care about you getting caught with a beer when you were 19. Once you reach 21 you literally cannot get that ticket again. I wouldn't (and I didn't) worry about it being on my criminal history, if that's the only thing on there.


So this does go on your record? It's not like a parking ticket, I guess. My 17 y/o son got caught with a beer at a parade in New Orleans last night and was written up with an MIP.
Does this have any effect on TOPS, etc.?

§93.12. Purchase and public possession of alcoholic beverages; exceptions; penalties
A. It is unlawful for any person under twenty-one years of age to purchase or have public possession of any alcoholic beverage.
B.(1) Whoever violates the provisions of this Section shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.
(2) Any person apprehended while violating the provisions of this Section shall be issued a citation by the apprehending law enforcement officer, which shall be paid in the same manner as provided for the offenders of local traffic violations.
(3) In addition to the penalties provided in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection, the driver's license of any person violating the provisions of this Section may be suspended upon conviction, plea of guilty, or nolo contendere for a period of one hundred eighty days. Upon conviction, plea of guilty, or nolo contendere, the court shall surrender the driver's license to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections for suspension in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Upon first conviction, the court may issue an order which authorizes the department to issue a restricted driver's license upon a demonstration to the court that a hardship would result from being unable to drive to school or work. Such restrictions shall be determined by the court.

THIS.

Do not waste your one pre-trial on a MIP. You'll need it for your inevitable DUI one day

Here's the kicker. I just found out I know the agent who wrote my son the MIP citation! We'll see if that makes any difference...

SAVE YOUR 894!! No one gives a shite about an MIP, an open container or a public drunk. As stated earlier, you may really need that 894 one day. That son of a bitch is your Willy Wonka golden ticket!

I got one last year and did some diversion program. Had to pay $200, take some online test, and do like 8 hours of community service. I think it goes off your record too.
