Utah MIP Attorney
Were You Charged With Minor In Possession?
Any drug including alcohol or any controlled substance may be the focus of criminal charges of minor in possession. Minors under the age of 21 in Utah are forbidden from possession or consumption of alcohol.
A teenager who has been charged with a crime has the same constitutional rights as all criminal defendants. Search and seizure laws may be of special interest in a minor in possession and consumption case. A strong defense in the face of minor in possession and consumption charges often includes an investigation into every aspect of the case leading up to the arrest.
- If there was a traffic stop, was the stop legal?
- Was the search legal?
- Was the young person properly questioned?
