What Can I Expect From Court on MIP?
Question by Keith: What can I expect from court on MIP?
I was arrested last night for an MIP in Georgia. I wasn’t driving, I was in a bar. I have to appear in court on what happens to be my 21st birthday. What should I expect besides my fine? This is my first offense of any kind and will the penalties be less harsh because I will be 21 on my court date?

A violation of this law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to a $ 300. In addition, persons violating any underage drinking law may be sentenced to complete a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program within 120 days of conviction. Failure to complete the program as prescribed shall be punished by a fine of up to $ 300 and/or 20 days imprisonment. If violation occurred while operating a motor vehicle, the offender will have driver’s license suspended for at least 120 days and the offender must complete an approved DUI or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program. There are no graduated penalties for repeat offenses. A diversion program, whereby the court may, in lieu of judgment of guilt, place the offender on probation and require a comprehensive rehabilitation program (not to exceed 3 years),is available for first time offenders. If offender is under 17, a violation is a delinquent act, subject to juvenile proceedings in which the court has broad discretion to impose orders best suited to the offender’s treatment,rehabilitation and welfare (e.g., probation, rehabilitation program, delinquent facility).
