What is the law on 9/10th possession?

Need advice in Delaware law for underage possession of alcohol!! Please?

  • I was recently stopped by a Newark police department cop who saw me walking with an open bottle of beer in my hand. I was written a citation for underage possession of alcohol and given a court summons date. I was told the fine would be for about $200 and I would have a criminal record. I have no problem paying the fine but do not want to have a criminal record as it could hurt with job possibilities in the future. Should I attempt to fight this case? Will pleading not guilty get me off the hook if the cop is a no show on my summons date? What are Delaware consequences for first time offenders charged with underage possession of alcohol? Is there anyway I can get this criminal record removed or expunged? And if not, will it ever disappear?

  • Answer:

    Yes, in 3-5 years see a lawyer about having your record expunged. http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv1-&p=Delaware%20expungement&ei=UTF-8&type= I agree. You were NOT whining. :) )

There is a very old saying: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." You KNOWINGLY were in public with an open container in defiance of the law. It was an act YOU decided to do with full knowledge of the consequences. Why are you whining about it now? See a lawyer if you want to fight it; that is your right under American law. Just remember, if you do get a lawyer to represent you, you will (probably) wind up paying the court AND him. But then, in the long run you may learn enough to avoid further (and possibly more serious) consequences.
