I called the local township to either possibly have a new court date issued, or to voluntarily appear in court the next session.

The bail reform act did not cover cases in Municipal Court. You need to pay the warrant. I would also suggest hiring a lawyer for the disorderly persons offense if you cannot afford one after you pay the warrant you can apply for a public defender.

It is a public record thus on the face of it, I don't see a reason why they couldn't BUT you may want to hire a lawyer to investigate this for you and get a certain answer.

Maybe much depends on the township rules unless it is a state or county road, then you have to contend with them also.
answered on Mar 30, 2018
No a municipal ordinance is not considered a disorderly persons offense, but can carry jail just like a disorderly persons offense. The only real difference is that a municipal ordinance does not have a criminal record attached to it. Either way you should always have a good lawyer whenever you... View More
