It's not automatic unless you plead guilty or found guilty after a trial. If you fight the case and win then you won't lose your license or will lose it for less than the minimum of seven months and you may not have to have the interlock device bc it's mandatory for over .15 reading.
I would like to know if this is going to cause a fine and this is my first time? Or this can be a jail time? I am really afraid.

If your first time then very unlikely that you'll get jail but you should get a lawyer to help you avoid the criminal record.

It's hearsay whether signed or unsigned. Attorneys in criminal courts must confront witnesses and they can't confront a piece of paper.

No it cannot because it's a technicality and in Jersey tickets don't get dismissed based on technicalities.

Depends on your insurance policy. Most policies will say that they will deny it. However, in my experience most insurance companies don't strictly enforce this provision. You should make the claim and see what they say.

You arouse public and law enforcement suspicion. What would be the purpose of doing that if not for nefarious reasons?

Your post is unusual and to the reader especially one trained in criminal defense it reads as if you created the danger yourself in order to relive the exercise maybe? And that you simply miss the action and are concerned that you are in trouble now. Otherwise why would this be posted in the... View More

You have to get a lawyer to file a motion to suppress and to raise your defenses. An attorney can't answer yes or no in a vacuum. You have to give it a shot and your best chance is engaging services of an experienced attorney.
And some one saw it and called the cops no sexual acts of any kind were committed and was unaware who could see from 2 stories down?

It's doubtful that you'll get into criminal charges for this prank but if you do then it'll go to juvenile court and it won't have much of an impact on your life. I wouldn't lose sleep over this but don't let your behavior escalate.
