[Advice/Help] charged with minor in possession of a fake id and minor attempting to buy alcohol ( self )

submitted by warmstateman32 Warning: 0%

My buddy (rip) got his id taken by two undercover officers at a liquor store. Charged with a possession of id and attempt to purchase. The officer told him it was a misdemeanor charge but said the penalty would vary based on county. We’re in Alameda County (NorCal) and I can’t find reliable information on this. Any idea what he might be expecting legally? Thanks

he's fine a minor + misdemeanor= nothing in the long run. Might get slapped with community service. Even with the strictest DA they must follow the guidelines of a misdemeanor of a minor with no previous criminal history. It's a victimless crime and its non violent so nobody is going to jail and his life will continue on

Also side question, was he approached by them while in the store and he just sorta showed them? Or was he already at the cash register and one of them was posing as a cashier? what questions did they ask him and what did her respond? Just asking all of this so it doesn't happen to me

We ran into the store together to grab a six pack, and this is our regular spot so the guy doesn't even card us. The two officers were young females in streetwear, barely even noticed they were there. As soon as we left the store they pretty much isolated him and told him they knew he had a fake and he kind of panicked and handed it over. They never saw him use it so that was a mistake

Alameda, I'm pretty sure, is one of the reddest counties in the Bay. You may be fucked since the county's DA probably is one of those "tough on crime" dumbasses. Depends on how many MiPs they see, maybe since CSUEB is there they might be lenient. Hopefully they strike a deal where you take a class and do community service or something and they don't even charge you so it doesn't even go on your record.
