What to do if I received a noise infraction for having a party at my house?
I want to go to court and see if the judge will reduce the fine which is 1100 but am worried they might add charges if I go to court. I am 21 years old but there were people underage at my house also so I’m worried they might add underage drinking to my case as well. Is this a possibility? Is it likely? The police entered my house unwarranted and called the ambulance for a guy that was belligerent. This guy was 20 and they got his info.

I suggest that if you want to contest the infraction charge facing you in court that you attend and contest it. Even if you lose most likely you are capped put at $1,100 for the assessed fine stated on the ticket that you received.
