Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania
underage drinking citation
I am 16 years old and was driving
with a friend at night when she got
pulled over for speeding. We had
both been drinking before and the
cop said he could smell alcohol--he
asked if I had been drinking and I got
scared and told him ''yes''. I blew a
.06 on the breathalyzer and recieved
an underage drinking citation. The
cops told me that I would have a
court date and to plea not guilty,
which a lawyer that my parents
talked to also said. My court date is
coming up--what will happen? Is it
smart to plea not guilty?
