Legal Question in Disability Law in Maryland
Possession of alcohol citation under the age of 21:
My friend got pulled over for going 60 in a 35 and had a old empty beer box in his back seat from a few months prior so the cop said he had probable cause to search vehicle and asked if we had anything that wasnt supposed to be in the vehicle.
I then told the cop i had 2 bottles of vodka and whiskey in my bookbag and that was it.
Never been in trouble by the law before and was wondering what the consequences would be.
Thanks.

I would recommend hiring a lawyer here. You may have grounds to challenge the search of your bag. You have also stand a better chance of getting a favorable outcome if you have a lawyer talking to the prosecutor for you. I would NOT go to court by yourself.
Based on the zip code you gave, it looks like you are in Virginia, but if you are in Maryland, please feel free to email me at [email protected] to discuss in greater detail. Good luck with this.
