What is the name of your state?New York
Imagine a case where a very stupid and **y 18-year-old was walking down the streets of Manhattan sipping from a beer in a brown paper bag. The cops pull up and demand to know what he/she is drinking and to see id. Due to sheer intimidation said 18-year-old yields to the cops wishes and presents a fake i.d. with a real name, but a false address and DOB. The cop writes up two summons papers. One for having an open alcohol container and the other for possession of alcohol by a minor with intent to consume. No mention of the fake i.d. (which let's say was confiscated), but the fake address is listed on the summons.
What would be the best course of acton for the aforementioned 18-year-old to take (in addition to showing up for court)?
What could one expect in terms of punishment for the above?
