It was for a minor offence of drinking alcohol in a public place without disguising it.
I was wondering what happens now?
how does it work with a brit arrested in the usa?
Appear before the judge, pleased guilty, pay a fine and get released from county jail with a promise to go straight to the airport?
or do they hold you in the county jail or process you to the county prison until you can guarantee them when you flight leaves?
be interested if anyone understands the USA system and what is likely to happen to them

If you plead guilty would that stop you getting in the US again?

They don't make any allowance for what the offence was? So it could be anything from drinking alcohol in a public place, as stated above, to serious assault.

Yes, if you are committed of an offence regardless of what the offence is, you are banned from the USA
Likewise, even if you make it as far as a charge and the bail judge finds 'probable course' to continue your case (they find probable course in 99.9% of cases from what i have read, its rare a public defendant or attorney gets it turned over despite some glaring mistakes from the police on some of the most pettiest of charges), this is recorded on your record and you will need to mention it if you apply for a tourist visa which may result in having to go for a interview (at your cost) at the US embassy before ESTA is provided. With so many petty laws, its a risky place to visit. Never seen any of this mentioned on the Disney brochures |
