Question : Minor Consumption in Indiana?
I’m 18, 19 in September and on Saturday (4th of July) I was at a party that was busted by the cops. I blew a .02 and as of yet no charges have been given but we’re all expecting MC any day now. So I was just wondering, as a first offense, should I plead guilty or not guilty? Because I heard that in Indiana portable breathalyzers are not admissible in court, is this true? Also, would the fact that they saw the beer cans be enough evidence besides the breathalyzer? Anyone who has any advice let me know.

People need to learn how to stand up for their civil rights when dealing with the police. If the party was in a public area then the police can intervene more easily. A party in a private house requires that the police have a warrant or they push themselves through the door, and with out an objection, they are free to find some cause from what they witness. I also believe that you were not required to take a breathalyzer and you should have been issued a ticket at that time, not waiting on one.
