Re: aiding and abetting
If your keys were taken from your possession by your somewhat intoxicated son, while you were asleep, how could you have aided or abetted him in his DWI?
You should obviously contest this ticket and, unfortunately, you may need the services of a North Carolina attorney in order to do it successfully.
