What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Manhattan, New York.
First time offense of any kind (not even a speeding ticket); 220.03 Criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. Was taken to the precinct for about 2 hours, photos and fingerprints taken but was never read my rights (which i thought was odd). Was taken into a room at one point with guys in suits and was asked if I had knowledge of any serious crimes (20 second interview). I didn't and within 30 min, I was released with some paperwork to show up in court.
What is the likelihood to not have this show up on my record and how do I attain this.
Do I need a lawyer?
Do I plea? Never been to court so am not sure how this works.
