Question

Country: United States of America State: Kansas What punishment will I get for an open container in Kansas, if I represent myself? Open container was the only charge.

Answer

Try to keep this off your record eventually--jail time is probably not likely if your record is very clear now. But having that arrest and/or a conviction on your record will make job-hunting etc. more difficult. Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision, a small fine etc. etc.
