To her,her first time in trouble.will they give her low bail.
answered on Nov 22, 2017
There is no bail anymore on "crimes" what other States call felonies. NJ has conditions now. In a first offense third degree,which this is, she may not have been held at all and is so not for long. In Passaic this type of charge is often downgraded back to Municipal Court depending on the... View More

More information is needed. Such cases are very fact sensitive. There is case law saying no. But if the third party was a employer etc. it could be harassment. The issue is the intent to harass, most times to alarm or annoy. If the text was to another and the person finds out third hand it is hard... View More

It depends on the court. Technically common law defense are no allowed in such matters but many court would listen is the "necessity" was legit. More information is needed there.

You are on some kind of probation or conditions of release. Your rights are limited. The alternative is jail with even less rights.
Hoping to plea it down and lose at least 2 points.

You do not mention the town it makes a difference. You can file a motion to reopen. Rather expensive and may not work since you need grounds. Not knowing the insurance issue or that MVC will get involved are not good issues but can be depending on the town. Once open the two points can happen. But... View More
My vechile was towed then I received this ticket in the mail The offense is 39:4-56.6 i want to pay It to get it over with but will it give my license points or raise my car insurance
answered on Nov 18, 2017
Actually 56-6 just requires you to pay the impound. It is 56-5 that has a penalty $100-&500. And possible license loss by MVC.
Is there a time limit on it
answered on Nov 18, 2017
It depends who is investigating and for what. If your job is investigating it depends on their regulations. If law enforcement is investigating it depends on the charge. Simple Assault has a 1 year statute of limitations. Aggravated assault has a 5 year SOL.
I was charged with 2C:52-11B (1) I did not steal. I went shopping with two ex-friends, they went one direction I went the other. We met back at my car when the police ran up. Charging all 3 of us with shoplifting. My charge was amended to violation of municipal ordinance 271-1a Loitering. I am... View More

2C:52-11 is in the expungement section. You were likely charged with 2C:20-11, shoplifting. The loitering is not a theft charge and as an ordinance is rarely seen on the CCH, the official record normally checked by employers, anyway. The problem is that the original charge is still on there and it... View More
I have a Maryland license right now. I got a ticket for going 70 in a 65 in Delaware. The 2 points that I would have gotten in Delaware do not transfer to Maryland. So I want to pay the fine in Maryland, and receive no points. If I transfer my license to New Jersey will those 2 Delaware points... View More

You need to ask a Del. attorney. If the transfer into Md happens before the switch to NJ my guess, and it is a guess, the points do come into NJ .
I filed for a restraining order that was accepted and policed charge my ex with 2c:33-4. In return my ex three days later went to law enforcement and had me charged with 2c:33-4 as well. I was never arrested for this allegation or contacted by police. I had no idea this charge was on my record till... View More

You need to expunge the record. Call the court administrator and ask if you'v csn have an immediate expungement. Most counties require immediate application so you may need to file a normal petition for expungement. Use an attorney.
In 2009, I filed for a restraining order that was accepted by police against my ex girlfriend. She was charged with harassment as well. She went and reported harassment against myself. I went to the police station today and wanted to see if anything was on my record. It says I was charged with... View More

Anytime a complaint is placed on the computer it shows as an arrest. The case may have been dismissed. that should be on there also. To remove the arrest record you need to expunge.
I was pulled over for speeding on the turnpike. A trooper pulled me over and said he was letting me off with a warning, but also slipped in a seatbelt ticket. I had my seatbelt on, I think this was his idea of a light punishment. If I go to court to fight the seatbelt ticket, and the court date is... View More
answered on Nov 15, 2017
I my experience,no. He has 30 days on a speeding. But bet he will say there was no seatbelt if you fight this and expect the maximum penalty if you lose. It also will likely be multiple trips to court. Also I do not know what NY will do with this. Normally 0 points come across the river but this is... View More
