Q: Is 32.1.146.8(4) a criminal offense or a disorderly person offense
A: In general, It is a disorderly persons offense, BUT it does appear on many people's CCH (Criminal Case History) so most people consider it a criminal offense, because it shows up as a criminal offense. If that is confusing it is. NJ unlike other states does not have felony and misdemeanor charges which clouds the issue more. This is especially serious if you are an immigrant or someone with a sensitive job that requires you not to have a criminal record. I would suggest that you hire a good criminal lawyer to make sure you get the best result for this charge. Most of us criminal lawyers offer a free in office consultation, I would suggest that you start with this.
