Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin
if my girlfriend an i are drunk an the cops are called on both of us by my mother should both of us go to jail
1 Answer from Attorneys
Yes, jail or the emergency room of a hospital might be the safest place for you if you are both so drunk that you own mother had to call the police on you. However, if you are adults who were lawfully drinking at home without any driving, were respectful of the officers and promised to settle down, you probably would not be arrested. If you do not want this to happen again, you should also consider doing something about your drinking problem. A good place to start would be by clicking on AA.org and locating the local alcoholic anonymous meeting which is most convenient for you. If you are charged with a crime, you should also immediately retain an experienced criminal lawyer, who will probably advise you to go to the same website as soon as possible before going to court.
