Anyone received a MIP charge/ticket in California before? (Minor In Possession)

A friend just called me stating that he just received a MIP ticket while tailgating at a concert.

I told him that it's probably not a big deal at all.

Should be a misdemeanor,

Should be a couple hundred bucks,

Probably not something an employer is going to care too much about (depending on the job I guess)

He was not driving and there were no other tickets or charges involved.

Also, the court assigned on the ticket is quite distant and I have read before that it was the law that you can have the ticket transferred to whatever happens to be your local court house.

I have friends who have gotten multiple ones.. from what they went through.. it seems to not be a big deal..

I heard you can get it off your record.. but I cannot verify that.

Expect more of this.

Back in the day a nice cop sent me on my way after dumping out an eight ball in the street.
