Who cares? In my world, who didn't get a MIP in college?
Is that all they have on him? Has he also farted loudly in public?
I had one. Didn't even know booze was in the car. Riding with a bunch of friends, they stopped at a gas station. One guy went in and bought a 6 pack and put it in the trunk. No one but him knew he had it but a cop saw him buy it and pulled us over. Everyone in the car got a ticket.
Luckily I knew the mayor who called the DA and after a bit of a chat with him and the judge, I was given differed adjudication, if I went 15 days without even a parking ticket, they would throw it out. I was really lucky in that case.
The odd thing about the Cruz case is if he was under 21, it should have been expunged from his record when he turned 21.
