Dude, that freakin stupid.

Not that I recommend it, but if your going to pick up for some one, you do not do it with them IN THE CAR! Regardless of your particular situation, you can't give cops a reason to break your *****.

Your going to have to fight it. Talk with a lawyer and see if anything will effect your record, and if it has anything to do with your drivers lic.

You should be able to fight that. Thats like saying a Dad takes his two sons to the store with him, gets a 6 pack for himself, puts it in the truck, and is supplying minors. If there was no evidence of them drinking it, i think it should be pretty easy to fight it.

That stupid ******* cop just probably has a hard on for his job. He probably went away with the alcohol, hooked up with his other cop buddies and they split it.

BTW my dad knew a cop that would do this. he would rip beer off of kids, and then get a a pizza and they would split it with the other cops

With a lwayer I dont think It would be all that hard to beat. The cop cannot prove that you were provinding it for them. You may have saved yourself by having it in the trunk. If it was on their lap it would be different. You should be fine if you get a lawyer.
That would be like saying a father cant stop and buy six pack of beer while his sixteen year old son is driving the car with him.

That does kinda add to the suspicion, but I don't know if they have enough to convict you of anything.

If it was in the trunk and was unopened and you were still with them he cant get you with providing to minors as you havent provided anything.

Fight it and youll get it dropped or you might have to do a few hours of community service.

Question

If the Cops are keeping the beer or whatever you got stopped with and you were charged with a crime, where is the evidence when it comes time to fight it in court? Either you post the correct story or don't post at all.

Always remember one thing, Probable Cause. I do not know if he had probable cause, but kinda similar incidents have happened to me. One with alcohol involved and one without alcohol. Was the alcohol visible from the outside of car?
I believe the officer had to have probable cause to search the car. In effect that is what he did, if it was not visible and he did not stop you from leaving the liqour store. That does not matter now, but for the future; Probable Cause!
First incident: I was 17 and I purchased alocohol from a store that was being watched. Watched for selling alcohol to minors, lol. As soon as I got to my car he comes flying up and asks for some ID. Well lets just say right out front of store, BUSTED. Underage slap on the wrist though!
Second incident: I was 18 and I was with in a friends car. His girlfriends was driving his car, not legally. We got to a gas station and noticed a cop watching us, so I took over driving duties. Well, cop noticed driver change and pulled me over once I got onto the main road. Well, he pulled me out of the car and searched me and everyone else, NOTHING. He than told us all to step away from the car they were going to search it! A buddy familiar with this stopped him and said he can only do that with probable cause. Cop frustrated and annoyed called in the drug dog, they found probable cause! Friend messes with weed, dog picked up scent of a seed in glove box. Probable Cause, than cops searched the car! Not my car and only a seed, so I was not arrested; just warned. No Ticket Either!!!!!!!
