My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina
So my friends and I were at a tailgate some of us were 21 some of us 20. I wasn't holding a beer but my friend who wasn't 21 was and when asked by a cop she lied twice and got mad and said they were going to arrest her. SO she admitted the truth. They then asked me my age and if I had consumed any alcohol that day. I was honest and said I had earlier but was no longer and that I was almost 21 but not 20 yet. My friend did the same who was also 20. They used a breathalyzer on my second friend and I and said they weren't going to give us consumption but rather possession. The officer told me I could do the first offenders program and it would be $30 and community service, however when looking it up it says $250 for the program and about $188 for fines.
My friend who had the alcohol and lied got away with just a fine and no court date. Also the officer had me blow into the stick and then had my friend who also told the truth blow into the same stick.
How much would the program cost? I can barely afford school.
Would it be better for me to get a lawyer? But like I said I really don't have any money.
