Legal Question in DUI Law in North Dakota
On the 8th day of October, I was arrested for minor in consumption. I was administered a breathalizer test in which I blew a .024. At the time of the arrest, I was never read my meranda rights. I was put in the passenger seat of an undercover mini van and never buckled, even though he was speeding 5-10 mph over the speed limit, and today when I recieved my summons papers it says, that I was placed under arrest for minor in possession even though I had no alcohol on me and was told at the scene that I was under arrest for a MIC. Do I have legal grounds to fight against this charge? And if so, how would I go about doing such? Thank you.

You can always fight any criminal charge.
A MIC is the same as a Minor in possession, same statute, same everything.
They don't have to read Miranda in most cases.
If you want to fight the charge you need to get a lawyer.
