I was recently walking home from a party and was stopped by police officers about halfway there. I was with two other people and none of us were showing any signs of inibriation, but one of my friends was carrying a beer. The officers saw this and said it gave them probable cause to breathalyze all of us. I am 18 years old and blew a .041, which allowed the police to give me a fine for minor in consumption. (NRS 202.020) One of my friends, the one without the beer, blew a .017 and was let go. My third friend put down his beer as soon as he saw the police car, but the officer questioned her abotu it and even pointed out the beer sitting on the sidewalk with his flashlight. She was breathalyzed and i have no idea what she blew but she was given no citation at all. Holding a beer should be automatic minor in possession, especially since the officer point it out, correct? Can I use the fact that she had blatantly committed a crime and was not given a citation as a defense in my own case? Also, when I just got a copy of the police report and it says that I was carrying the beer, which is not true. Can the report being filled out wrong by the officer be a way to get the crime dismissed?
