<p>This is an old thread to which the OP never returned after getting a little pushback.</p>
<p>You don’t get a Miranda warning unless you are the subject of a criminal investigation, are in police custody and are being questioned. If the police try to introduce evidence of your in-custody statements you made after being prompted by law enforcement questions into your criminal trial, you can object. But, it sounds like the only evidence is that the trained police officer gave his reasons why he concluded that you were consuming alcohol and that you are under age.</p>
<p>James Madison had been long since mouldering in the grave when the Miranda ruling “created” the constitutional right to be advised that a you have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel before in-custody interrogation, however.</p>
<p>For the record, the VA law is tough. No expungement if you’re 18+. I don’t know how JMU handles on-campus drinking, but no one should flaunt this one, in public. It’s akin to VA’s old mandatory sentencing for marijuana. VA has put the word out everywhere about this law. Just 'cuz y’all are curious, a digest: <a href=“http://knowledgebase.findlaw.com/kb/2011/Mar/246278.html[/url]”>http://knowledgebase.findlaw.com/kb/2011/Mar/246278.html</a> </p>
<p>What’s that phrase? Cross at your own risk?</p>
<p>I find this thread offensive.</p>
<p>Oh, James, you have such a thin skin.</p>
