I received an underage drinking ticket in Sauk County WI. Is it likely to be able to get the citation dropped and pay the fee?

You essentially sealed your fate by answering the ranger's questions. I would recommend asking the prosecutor for a deferred resolution whereby you attend alcohol related education classes in exchange for the citation being dismissed or amended.

What are my legal options regarding my underage drinking ticket?

More than likely, you will be given the opportunity to take an alcohol education course in exchange for the ticket being dismissed. You will need to enter a plea of not guilty and ask for a pretrial date with the city attorney. If you successfully complete the class and get the ticket dismissed, I would be very careful in attending other parties. This opportunity is only available once.

Can non alcoholic beer register a reading on a breathalyzer

Some NA beer has trace amounts of alcohol in it despite the advertising. Be careful. It could register. At the very least, you will smell like alcoholic beverages to the officer because of the way the drink reacts in your mouth.

What are some possible punishments that a person can face being charged with resisting arrest

If you have not been summoned to court to appear to answer charges, then you have not been charged with a crime. Your ticket will most likely have a date on it. If the only ticket you received was for the traffic incident, then you may not have been charged with a crime. The state has to go through a formal charging process in order to initiate a criminal prosecution. You may want to contact a local attorney for a free consultation in order to check up on the status of your case.

Wisconsin dui- probation officer tells me i can not bowhunt? what gives?

You need to determine what the conditions are of your probation. There should be a list of them in your file. Ask your probation officer for that list so you can see it for yourself. If you cannot hunt per your agent, that rule would have to be somewhere in your file.

Can I sue my daughters for lying and having the police break into my house? They are adults and one had a restraining order.

You can sue anyone for anything. The real questions is, will your suit make it to court. Additionally, you have to ask yourself whether you have any realistic opportunity of recovering any money from the person who violated you. Your probably have a case, but it would be difficult to prove and probably even harder to recover the money.

Borrowed card DUI, driver refusing to speak with me

The answer will depend on the state that you live in. You may have civil liability as a result of the accident. You absolutely need the driver to be involved in this case. In fact, you may want to consider taking this person to court if they do not respond to your inquiries. That may be the only way to get a response. As to your insurance questions, you will need to refer to your policy to see what the terms are. Also, you will need to see if the driver was insured. Unfortunately, it is hard...

Can a felony be changed to a misdemeanor after the fact or expunged?

Felonies in 2006 were not allowed to be expunged. The law has since changed. I would recommend calling a local attorney and seeing if you can get your record expunged. Typically when making a decision whether to expunge a record, a judge will look to your prior law enforcement contacts, your behavior since the incident, and whether you and the community will be served by you having a clean record.

What happens when you receive a 5th underage drinking ticket in Wisconsin?

Generally underage drinking tickets are municipal violations that do not expose you to jail time. Eventually, if you accumulate enough of these tickets, the State may want to prosecute you for Disorderly Conduct, or some other low level offense. If you have 5 underage tickets, you are clearly doing something wrong. If you want to drink and you are underage, you must do it in a more responsible way.
