Ticket for liquor-consumption by persons under 21?: I was at my house having a couple of beers and drinks with my parents and friends. I went to work the next day and was told I smelled like liquor. I did not drive to work. They did not allow me to leave the property and made me take a Breathalyzer test. They gave me a ticket and told me to go home for the day. Is there any way to fight this so this doesn't stop me from getting a job in the future or am I just screwed?

I got pulled over for a made uo probably cause and now the dash camera footage is missing the 5 crucial seconds : Iam facing a dui case . The cop said the probably cause of the stop was that i didn't use a turn signal. I definitely used the turn signal and my passenger and myself knew the cop was after us because he kept circling us , waiting for us to leave the gas station and we even said he was hounding us. Theres no way i wouldn't use a turn signal. The cop said the traffic violation was captured in his dash cam which i knew was a lie. I got the dash cam footage and it is missing 5 seconds of the 30 seconds of the pre event recording. A friend of mine says it should be 30 seconds, not 25 seconds. I used the turn signals 100% . Is it normal to miss 5 crucial seconds that would of proved that I did signal and had knew the whole time that the officer wanted to pull us over
Andrew’s answer: If you haven't already done so, now is the time to get a lawyer retained and start fighting this case. It seems like you may have a chance to get the evidence thrown out, but everything will have to be thoroughly reviewed. I wish you the best of luck.
