Michigan MIP Court
MIP at Michigan State University
NEW LEGISLATION ALERT!
Michigan’s governor has signed into law a major change to the MIP statute. It will now make the first offense a civil infraction with a $100 fine. Do NOT be fooled by this new law. We firmly believe that this will unfortunately open up the floodgates to even more MIP charges at Michigan State. The police now have all the incentive to quickly write as many tickets as they can for MIP. This will also set up a flood of 2nd offense MIP charges where you can face up to 30 days in jail!!! This is a major change in the law since the current statute allows judges to order jail time ONLY after a violation of probation.
FIGHT YOUR CIVIL INFRACTION TICKET!
Our law office will be setting up ticket defense clinics and encourage every student to fight their ticket. Just like fighting a traffic ticket, we can bring the officer in to face cross-examination and make sure your Constitutional rights have been protected and that they can prove you consumed or possessed alcohol.
