Now when my ex signs an affidavit admitting this all happened because she was spiteful and lied, wouldn't I be able to file a motion to dismiss the search warrant? The TRO was already dismissed because she didn't show up to court.

You both need lawyers. If she admits to filing a false report which resulted in a warrant she could be arrested. Nonetheless, not the polices fault and they validly searched your home and found weapons. If there are defenses then you need a lawyer to advocate them. Otherwise you face mandatory... View More

Based on your description, no. A search warrant relates to the search, not the arrest. An arrest warrant is usually open ended and does not expire until executed.
I live in New Jersey. I am 25 years old. I just found out that my mother placed a tracking app on my phone called AT&T Secure Family. I heard that it's against the law to put a tracking app on an adult's phone without permission. Can I legally sue?

Sounds like you are on your moms cell phone plan. Otherwise she would not be able to activate the feature which is put there by ATT for a family plan. You cannot sue as there is no cognizable claim for damages. You can try to convince the police to do something. But there may be permanent... View More
Today was my fiancés pre-indictment hearing, we have been waiting to hear about any discovery found, the strength of the evidence (which as we know it isn’t too strong), the possible charges, etc. However the lawyer did not show and the pre-indictment hearing was literally under five minutes and...

There may not have been a pre indictment offer and the prosecutor was simply going to grand jury. The PIC is a way for prosecutors to offer a discount on the sentence in exchange for not having to go to GJ. So it may have been a really bad or no offer. You are also provided very cursory discovery... View More

People are convicted of things they did not do all the time. The trier of fact decides what are "facts" and what are "lies". In municipal or family court that is a judge. In Criminal Indictable cases that is a jury. So even though you think this is something you haven't... View More
I walked away from a police officer and was arrested for it. Will this lead to misdemeanor charges or just laying a fine? I have a zoom hearing, can I take care of that myself?

Whether you are facing a a disorderly persons charge (NJ does not call them misdemeanors) or an indictable offense, you are facing a criminal record. That is not the kind of thing anyone should be handling themselves.

You need to contact a lawyer that handles criminal law and appeals.
I posted a picture of my client, no face, no identifying markers.

More information is needed. But anyone can sue, whether they have a serious claim is another thing.

Yes you can hire a lawyer. Look for an attorney who handles domestic violence cases. It is not unusual that the TRO is sought to prepare for a divorce. If you believe a divorce is in the offering then you should speak to a divorce lawyer.

If its an arrest warrant, they arrest you. If it is a search warrant, they conduct the search.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. You do need a lawyer. I would think someone in the Turkish community would be able to help find a lawyer who speaks the language. Otherwise you can use a translator. Best of luck.
Can DRE testimony be used in a municipal or state court cases in the state of NJ?
answered on Apr 2, 2021
The special master decided that a Frye hearing is required to determine if DRE evidence is generally accepted. The Supreme Court approved of this, but did not issue a stay on DRE cases. Each municipal court is free to do what they please.

You cannot enforce Civil Restraints. They are a polite way to agree to dismiss a TRO, but there is no way to enforce them short of filling a new TRO or Criminal Charges.
