I was in a car that had was pulled over for speeding, the driver was 21 yrs old and had NOT been drinking. There was also 3 20 yr olds and myself in the car, I am 21 yrs old. There was beer in the car and myself and one of the 20 yr old had been drinking. Everyone in the car was taken into custody and the car was impounded for 24hrs. I was finger printed and the officer took mug shots on his cell phone, I was also never read my rights. I was charged with providing alcohol to a minor because one of the 20 yr old had been drinking as well. The officer told us that he was "doing us a favor and not making us pay bail". Was I actually arrested? and if so, did he have the right to impound our car even if the driver was sober and over 21? Should he have read me my rights?
The officer is only required to Mirandize (read your rights) if they begin questionning you if you are in custody. To...
More detail: In NH I understand that I have to wait 10 years after the conviction of a first-time DWI to begin the annulment process. If I have it reduced to a penalty after a year's time, do I still have to wait until 10 years have passed to have it annulled from my record? Furthermore, if I have an unrelated misdemeanor conviction prior to the first-time DWI, am I able to remove that misdemeanor before 10 years, or am I still stuck waiting for the time required to clear the DWI to pass before I can annul anything?

They sent me paperwork that says that I have to appear in ANY New Hampshire court on April 4th to answer the charge. Does that mean I just walk in to a courthouse and announce that I'm there or do I call first and what is this court date for. I got another letter stating that I lost my license for 6 months and have to turn it in by April 6th. What am I supposed to do next.

I was charged with a DUI almost a month ago and since then have moved, I won't be able to get back to the previous state that I lived in to make the court hearing, will a warrant be put out for me, what is the best thing for me to do? I won't be driving anymore so I do not risk being pulled over but what can be done in terms of me not making the court date?
