a Minor in Possession of alcohol in the State of Georgia receives 40 hours of community service, a several hundred dollar fine, 6 months probation with monthly reporting to a probation officer with any violations potentially resulting in an arrest warrant, and also a Drug-Alcohol/Counseling screening costing appx $200


Where the hell does this happen. I got arrested for minor in possession of alcohol back in 1993 in Alabama and went to court and paid a $200 fine. I didn't have to do all that crap.

Many counties have a diversionary system now so that minors have the opportunity to avoid having a misdemeanor on their record.
