MIP or Minor in Possession is not a simple charge anymore, and the consequences of conviction can be far reaching and serious. The penalties for being convicted of MIP in Michigan include expensive fines, costs, and fees to the court, jail time; lengthy probation, work crew, community service, drug and alcohol testing and counseling, education and classes, and may result in the loss of your job; loss of any future jobs; school expulsion or loss of school scholarships, and driver’s license sanctions, not to mention a criminal conviction reflecting underage substance use and often abuse on your criminal record. A conviction for MIP will appear on any background check or security clearance. A second or multiple convictions for MIP will result in enhanced and more serious consequences, including the loss of driving privileges. Negotiating and securing first offender treatment under the MIP statute is often a complicated process.
