To start, I am 17 years old, live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and got an MIP on August 28. I have been talking to some people and they said I got a really unfair sentence and I should probably appeal, but I'd like to hear what some of you guys think. I was brought to the police station to get breathalized by my parents when they smelled alcohol on me when I came home at about 10 oclock. When I got there I blew a .048 and was given a ticket for an MIP. Now, this is the first thing on my record besides a red light traffic violation. I went to court on Sept. 7 and was sentenced to 20 hours of community service, $240 worth of fines, I have to find a part-time job by Oct. 13 or I spend 15 days in jail and have to repeat my jr year of high school, and I cant have any absenses in school for the whole year. The judge also asked me if I had any friends I drank with so I gave him 3 names. He said I cant have contact with those 3 friends in school or out, even though they weren't even with me when I got it. What are your opinions, should I appeal with a different judge or just leave it alone?

I think that really sucks your parents took you to the police station instead of handling this themselves.
And I would not have given any names to them.
As far as another judge I think your stuck with what you got and will likely not get anything better in your situation.
Sorry to hear you were busted, hope it all works out.

Yes, this would be considered off-topic, as the entire post was referring to alcohol with no reference whatsoever to marijuana.
This would apply to alcohol too.
