Got hit with an open container violation yesterday. Cop said I’ll have to pay a fine and go to court but it won’t be on my record. Will my future Mr. MD give a fuck? Should I be worried?

Open container while on the street walking or driving?
Sitting on a bench
Oh damn. I don't know what your state is, but I would make sure it is not a misdemeanor. If it is a misdemeanor, lawyer up and get that dropped. If you just pay the fine, you're pleading guilty.
What state was it? I'm surprised you would even have to go to court. However, it almost certainly will not impact you. I think it is the same level as a speeding ticket.
Open container in most states while driving is a criminal misdemeanor.
For sure. I was assuming it was not while driving.
It was in NJ
Oh ok yeah you're fine.

"A violation of New Jersey’s open container law is considered a traffic violation. A conviction means a fine of $200, but no points. Subsequent offenses can cost as much as $250 and result in up to 10 days of community service. Since the offense is not a crime, it will not result in a criminal record. However, it will appear on one’s driving record."
I’ve never heard of this term before, are there any workarounds? Like putting lid onto booze after drinking, paper bag, drinking at home etc
If it's not on your record I don't know how a future employer would find out.
