What to do if my 19 year old son received an underage drinking ticket?

How will this affect him? Do I need to go with him? He has told me he will go to the class and it will be fine. My son got out of a car going into a club and an officer stopped them all and they had to do breathanalizer test. The driver had not been drinking. No alcohol on them or in the vehicle. What happened to probable cause?

Underage drinking tickets can come back to haunt him.  If the facts are as you say and there is no real evidence then hire him an attorney to get the ticket thrown out.  You were right to see that red flag and ask.  Good luck.
