The officer did not ask the passenger her age. I did not realize it was for an underage passenger until I looked at the ticket when I got home. I pleaded not guilty and was given a new court date and no other instructions or options

Best bet is to bring that person with you to court show the judge this persons ID and the ticket should be dismissed.

No they would need a reason to impound it, such as it was illegal parked etc. Tickets however could be issued after the impoundment.

The answer depends on how long was the car in front of your house with the flat tire, if it was a few hours no problem if it was a few days you may have a big problem.
The normal amount of points in NYC for this violation is 3. Is it true there are no points for this ticket with an NJ license? I just find what the officer told me about no points hard to believe.

Any out of state moving violation transfers to NJ as 2 points on your NJ license. I suggest hiring a lawyer if getting no points is important to you.

You definitely need to get Counsel to sort out this mess. I am not sure why you were pulled over unless there was something amiss with the traffic stop. Please seek out counsel to assist in this matter.

This is an employment law question not a traffic ticket questions, I would suggest reposting under employment law.

There isn't really isn't a set time each court is different I suggest you call the court where you got the ticket and ask.
39:4-98 .14 Speeding (.14 Indicates Exceeding By 10-14 Mph is what's on the ticket. Is it better to appear in court and plead not guilty and just pay a higher fine?

With the increased cost of recycling it may not be economically or environmentally feasible to continue to recycle. As a member of the governing body of my municipality I want to know if we can eliminate the recycling program in our municipality without penalty.

Attorneys here are not allowed to give you a specific legal advice only answer general questions. This question is best answered by your township attorney that is what he is paid for and that is his job. What I will say is that, it was never a green thing to recycle as it generally cost more...

I truly don’t believe any of the above are true, I’ve been driving for years with a clean record.

Also so happens to be on my tickets the officer put a completely wrong license plate number, does this make a difference?
Thanks

3 Areas you can look at to start 1) the New Jersey Statutes, 2) the NJ administrative code and 3) your towns municipal ordinances.
Response appreciated
answered on Mar 5, 2019
Unfortunately it may, it all depends on what the officer has to say about it. Take pictures with you to court, however the law states that you must always stay to the right so being in the center of a road is not allowed. If you want to have the best chance of winning I suggest hiring a good... View More
