"Arrested" for a violation open container in New York, he was actually arrested or is it just a fine?
I have 21 years and I was drinking a beer open on the side of the road near SUNY New Paltz and a policeman grabbed me, I was very cooperative because they really had no excuses but told me I had to stop. Now I do not really put in jail, but he got all kinds of information from me as even the tattoos he had and everything. Then he gave me a summons green but did not tell me what to do except to go to court on that date. There is no option on the ticket to plead guilty and only sending in. Was he really was arrested or simply scares me, I open container was only a small violation, I'm very concerned that this may appear on my computer when looking for work and stuff, I have to get a lawyer or something? PLEASE HELP
You were arrested and released on his own recognizance. Open the package is a misdemeanor. It is more than a traffic ticket and as such can not send mail in the call with a fine, which must appear.
