Operating without headlights on at night might be grounds to pull someone over, but that alone isn't the basis for an arrest. There would need to be evidence of impairment or intoxication to give an officer probable cause for arrest on a DUI charge.
No
A pro bono lawyer is given by the court and he is called the public defender. You need to request one on your court date and if you qualify one will be appointed for you.
Inalienable rights I would generally say are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I suppose you could consider the consumption of alcohol a pursuit of happiness. Generally, lawyers, at least lawyers that I know, do not speak about the consumption of alcohol being an inalienable right. It... Read more »

What does your judgment of divorce say about legal custody? If you don't have joint legal custody, then if she went to jail, it's possible for the children to be placed in the care of someone else.
The mandatory minimum is 45 days in jail. You did not state the Sentence, but sometimes a lengthier Sentence can include in house rehabilitation, and possibly other things. Going home is not an option however. He should have thought about the Sentence when the Judge was considering it.
I was arrested 10 years ago in New Hampshire for DUI and possession of marijuana.

I received 8 points on my license, is that enough to suspend my license and the violation was from 2 years ago so shouldn’t some of the points go away by now?
Points are assessed from the date of the original violation, so if it has been 2 years since you were stopped for the DUI, the points will no longer be current points (they will show with an asterisk on your driving record, but would not be included in any current point total). However, the MVA... Read more »

Sounds like you’re looking at jail time. Do you have a question?
Yes, for an alcohol DUI the interlock restriction will remain with the MVD when you reinstate your driving privileges.
No on scene test given, according to collision report. Transported to ER, did basic cbc, ua, and comprehensive blood test. I don't remember if I signed anything at the hospital to give my test results to police, can they still access my hospital blood test results and other health records? In... Read more »
