A: It sounds like you’re in a difficult situation. If you were issued a Minor in Possession (MIP) citation in your own home, there are a few things to consider. Typically, MIP laws apply to minors who are in possession of alcohol or drugs, but your case might be complicated by the circumstances of the police involvement. If the officer found you in possession of alcohol or another substance at the time of the call, they might have issued the citation based on that.

Even though you called the police to help with your ex-girlfriend, the officer’s actions could still lead to a charge if they believe the law was violated. In these cases, you can challenge the citation by showing that you were not violating any laws or that the officer made an error. You may want to gather any evidence that supports your version of the events, such as witness statements or records of the police interaction.

It’s also important to check the specifics of the law in your area regarding MIP charges. Depending on local rules, you may have grounds for defense, such as being in your own home or having the alcohol legally. Consulting with a legal professional could help you better understand your options for fighting the charge and what steps to take next.
