I was not aware of the move over law. However, I did use common sense to try changing lanes, but I was blocked. Again, common sense struck and I slowed down from 65 to 55 in a 65 mph zone. Was I supposed to go slower? When the driver the officers pulled over finished, he came into my lane without... View More

My belief is this is a 2 point ticket. Some opine it is 0. Can never get a straight answer. Anyway unless you have special circumstances like a CDL or you drive for Uber etc. you can negotiate this to O points on your own. You can use an attorney if you are more confortable or if you wish to... View More
My son has never been in trouble and brought a electric lighter to school and a kid said my son threatened him and said it was a taser. The school called the police and they put my son in handcuffs. Now they have charged him with 2nd degree robbery. Why robbery?

More information is needed. Robbery is attempting to obtain property from another (theft) by force, threats or coersion. My guess is the other student said he was threatened to give something up. Hard to say without more. At 12 if he does not have prior issues he should be released on conditions... View More
I was assaulted and concussed. Does this law apply to a concussed individual? Do you know the behavior of a concussed individual?
answered on Nov 28, 2017
What law is applying? If you mean DWI the answer is yes they can charge you since that standard is probable cause. But they may not be able to convict you beyond a reasonable doubt if your defense is believed?
Looks like 4 points. Is it worth getting an attorney in order to fight points or should I just fight myself. My insurance went up $100/mo for a two point speeding ticket back in 2015. What’s the fine potential in front of Judge Newman? Am I at risk of a license suspension? I work in Sales so I... View More

License loss with an attorney at that speed in front of that Judge would be low percentage but not 0. Without an attorney percentage is higher. The only chance at a 0 pointer in that town is with an attorney. There are various options to choose from, try to reduce and take a safe driving course,... View More
I got a speeding ticket of 390$ and this is my first speeding ticket when I was travelling form NJ to MA. Now that I am back to NJ, I think it is really difficult for me to travel to that court which is in MA. Is there any way I can remove those points from my record as I cannot attend the court...

You need to ask a Mass attorney, in NJ it would likely not happen.
Is this an offense. It is the same bus driver he never stops and lets people in even if we signal for him to stop. The bus has room for people hoever he still does not stop and let people in. I hit the door to let the bus driver know that i was mad i did not mean to break since i did not hit it... View More

It is an offense. Write a letter next time. Question is do they know who did it.
I basically reside in NJ. This is my first speeding ticket . Is there any way I can get those points out of my record?
answered on Nov 27, 2017
You go to the court it happened in. If outside NJ only 2 points come back. If in NJ don't think about 0 points will likely never happen. Think license suspension that likely will happen. You need an experience criminal defense attorney fast. freehold is a reasonable courr but over 100 is a problem.
I don't have a license but he told me to park it and not drive home. That was it. How should I proceed?

I suggest an attorney. No less censor can have a surcharge for three years. If the charge can be downgraded, more information is needed there, it would save the attorney fee maybe more. If you are underage that is a different situation but an attorney may help that as well.
I was arrested on charges of shoplifting. The charges were dismissed and amended to a municipal ordinance. Since the conviction was dismissed and amended to a municipal ordinance this would not be a moral turpitude crime?
municipal ordinance petty offense? Moral Turpitude???

The problem with law enforcement is any arrest. Here it was for a theft offense whether considered moral turpitude or not. You were not convicted. The ordinance is not criminal. It depends on the regulations of the organization. My guess is you will need to explain that arrest.

The origin bail charge was not dismissed it was amended with a downgrade.,you were not convicted of any criminal violation if it was an ordinance. But the arrest is still in the computer for the original charge. You can expunge in two years but that will not hide it from INS if that is the issue.... View More

They can since they only need probable cause but normally they wait for the result. However now with a 90 day indictment timeline the lab may not be back

All commercial vehicles have separate regulations. Otherwise more information is needed.

I am not sure but previously all checks go to probation. Ask your PO. Make sure you get a receipt or keep the canceled check.
the cops charged me with unlicensed driving, will I have to go to juvenile detention?
answered on Nov 24, 2017
No but you will not get your license for at least 6 months after everyone else.
65 in a 50 $105 payable offensive

Yes, 4 points. You cannot get 0 points in Hillsbough with Judge Richardson, even with an attorney. So it pays to go and ask Frank, the prosecutor for a reduction to 2 points. The fine is a bit more but it is worth it to get the reduction in my mind. Ask for the 0 pointer maybe they changed there... View More
I am 17 and got a ticket for 65 in a 50 on the way home from my fire fighter class.

Yes you can negotiate with the prosecutor. You face 4 points Joe you can get it to 2.

Use an attorney. On your own speak to the prosecutor and see what is offered
Want to know what fine is for this violation
answered on Nov 22, 2017
I do not know either. It is an ordinance and not in the general books. Some Newark ordinances carry points some how. I did not know that either but was informed on this site. Best to call Green Street (good luck in that) or go down there and ask st the violations window or on the third floor... View More

This citation is for violating the duties owed to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. It does not have penalties but the companion statute 4-36 imposes 2 points.
If my friend feels that the judge is rascits can he get a new judge if the prosecutor is saying they have evidence when do they have to show it
answered on Nov 22, 2017
The State now shows discovery at the detention hearing. If none they provide discovery st the PIC hearing. Just about no chance of changing judges. Get him the best criminal defense attorney he can afford.
