Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina

mistakenly not ticketed

I was at a party where underage

drinking was present and the police

busted it. i had been drinking but i

never said i was drunk and i never

gave the police an ID. i was not

ticketed. My mom picked me up and

that was that.

Could the police charge me now if

someone gave my name to them?

the police were taking pictures, could

they charge me now using the

pictures?
