A Minor in Consumption ticket is not the same as a Minor in Possession. If you are ticketed for Minor in Consumption in Manhattan, KS (also known as an M.I.C.) it probably means that you blew in a breathalyzer which indicated you had alcohol in your system.
The thing about MICs is that they have to prove that you have been consuming alcohol. If you do not blow in the breathalyzer, it makes the State or City's case against you difficult to prove.
While the punishment for an MIC is the same as for an MIP, they are definitely two very different offenses. In the case of an MIP, you must be possessing alcohol. This case is pretty easy for even the greenest of police officer to ticket for, simply because they need only find alcohol in your possession.
If you've found yourself in either situation, possessing or consuming alcohol as a minor in Manhattan, KS contact a Manhattan, KS attorney that can help you evaluate your options and get the most favorable outcome possible for your individual case.
