Is ';is dissenting false information';and';consuming alcohol under 21'; a felony?

My sister has been charged with it, and I just want to know if it's a felony:





charges: Consuming alcohol under the age of 21 and Dissenting false information (I think she used a fake id.)

That would be two misdemeanors (no felonies) in NY State.





While your sister will not like the punishment for these offenses ... she probably will not go to jail.





Some pretty healthy fines will put a big dent in her finances, mandatory alcohol counseling, loss of driving privileges for 1 year, the fake ID would be confiscated and destroyed (of course).





Is she in some real trouble ... yes! Is she on her way to prison ... NO!Is ';is dissenting false information';and';consuming alcohol under 21'; a felony?
Possessing alcohol under 21 or using fake ID to try to buy booze are only misdemeanors. Manufacturing or selling fake IDs for that purpose, however, is a felony. After all, throwing a kid in jail for over a year just for buying a beer would be a tad harsh, even under our police state.
It is probably up to the District Attorney, and may be based up whether she has a rap sheet or not. It's all about choices people make - good and bad.
well bottom line drinking under 21 is a felony.. so she will be charged.


im pretty sure lying to the cops is a felony too.
Consuming Alcohol, yes.





Not sure about dissent.
