QUESTION
Can a police chief remove a minor in possession of alcohol charge?
Asked on Oct 05th, 2011 on Criminal Law - Alabama
More details to this question:
I recently got cited for minor in possession of alcohol charge. A friend suggested I talk to the police chief saying he might have it removed to where I won't have to pay the fine and have it not even show on my record. Is this possible and what are my odds of winning if I go to court and try to plead not guilty. I have a copy of the report and all it states in short is the location, time, and the charge nothing about what I had or anything like that. Also can I get in more trouble for trying to talk to the chief. Is it a bad idea to tell him the whole story in detail In hopes he will drop it. Anything about this case will help thank you.

You could probably get a better result by hiring a lawyer. He'll know what your options are. By the way, don't think, just because the report doesn't mention details, that you can take it to court for an easy win. I can almost guarantee you that the arresting officer will also be there to testify to those details that were not specifically mentioned.
