<p>My friend (in a different state) just called to say her daughter (a college freshman) got a Minor In Possession ticket. Everyone at the party she was at got busted and all of those under age got MIPs including those (not her daughter) that were there and willingly took a breathalyzer because they were not drinking, and thought that by proving it the police would not give them a MIP. They still got ticketed. I did know that it is possible to get a MIP just for being at a party but this is the first time it has actually happened to someone I know (well someone closely linked to someone I know as my friend’s D wasdrinking). It is something I have warned my daughter about.</p>
<p>These kids actually have an option of paying the ticket and doing some sort of alcohol abuse course which will keep it off their records. I don’t know if that is something widely available or a State by State thing.</p>
