What happens if I am arrested for having a fake ID in Michigan?

2/8/2023

 
If you are arrested for possessing a fake ID in Michigan, you could be facing serious consequences, including fines and possible jail time. The specific consequences will depend on the circumstances of your case, including the type of fake ID that you possess, and your prior criminal history.
If you are charged with possessing a fake ID, you will typically be taken into custody and booked at a local police station. You may be released on bail or you may be required to stay in jail until your first court appearance.
During your first court appearance, which is known as an arraignment, the judge will inform you of the charges against you and ask you to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If you plead guilty, you will typically be sentenced immediately. If you plead not guilty, the case will move forward to a pre-trial conference or trial.
Possessing a fake ID is considered a criminal offense and can result in a criminal record, which can impact your ability to find employment, housing, and other opportunities. In some cases, possessing a fake ID can also result in immigration consequences if you are not a U.S. citizen.
If you have been charged with possessing a fake ID in Michigan, it's important to seek the advice of a qualified criminal defense attorney who can help you understand the charges against you and your rights, and who can represent you in court. An experienced attorney can help you build a strong defense and can negotiate with the prosecution to try to reach a favorable outcome in your case.
