I know in oregon you pretty much get the first one expunged by default, just gotta stay out of trouble for like 8 months

Pretty boys like you get plugged in prison. Enjoy having a tight butthole while you still can.

Not bad at all. Pay the fine and it usually goes away in a few years, especially if you go to court and ask along with good behavior.

...Unless you go to school where I go.

-$185 fine
-Year probation
-2 in a year= a week+ in jail as well as a $240 fine

Shit's rough, I have a bunch of friends who went to jail this year.

Sounds like you have a bunch of really fucking stupid friends. You have to be a complete retard to get one MIP, let alone 2.

It really is and thats our point exactly. On top of it, it's not a deterrence if kids continually keep drinking and going to jail. haha

But I go to school in Bemidji, MN. It's literally the only county in the state that has this harsh of penalty, to my knowledge.

I got a minor in consumption this year, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank God it was a sherif because he gave me a minor under state laws which is $185 and doesn't go on my record.

I got an MIP at the airport security when I was trying to fly internationally a year a go. I for got about an old roach in my back pack and the dogs went nuts. The searched my pack and found the smelly roach and gave me the mip. I was still able to fly and ended up paying a $250 ticket. wasn't to bad. I no longer have it on my record.

I got an MIP (drinking) when I was 18 in the U dorms. It was shitty, but definitely not the end of the world. Utah is a stickler with this stuff, and I got a 400 dollar fine, had to take an alcohol class, and had a year of probation (which basically just meant I couldn't get in trouble again for a year). In the end I just chalked it up to a semi-funny story about the most expensive shots I'll ever take. It doesn't effect my life at all.

My roommate got one and lost his driver's license for a year, which it pretty ridiculous. I'm from California, it seemed way too harsh for a simple MIP

Well... Depends on how the court case goes. I'd say either life in prison or death penalty.

wait MIP means you got caught drinking or having alcohol at the age of under 21? Seems pretty ridiciolous to me... If you get caught drinking underage in germany (meaning hard liqour with under 18, or beer with under 16), all they do is tell your parents...

YEARS from now, yes. get a lawyer, and you might be able to 'defer' if you meet some requirements. again, get a lawyer and see what he can do for you.

if you get an underage in PA, you will lose your license for 3 months. sometimes they'll give you a work license, sometimes they won't. had it happen to a lot of buddies, total bs.

MIP is listed as the new gateway to heavy drug use. Odds are you'll be sniffing bath salts and eating peoples faces in less than a year.

Ever seen Taken? Yeah, those two girls got MIPs and thats why they were kidnapped. Better hope your father is Liam Neeson, or else your looking at a long life as a sex slave.

They sound terrible in the US! I'm in Canada, and the cops showed up to a party I was at, but all they did was make you dump it out, then they left. :P
