And will I get insurance points
Also I have a court appearance date I wouldn’t need a parent for that if I’m 17?

No you can go to court yourself and pay for the ticket if that's what you want to do.
I plan to fight the ticket and represent myself in court. Someone else may have been driving the car but it definitely wasn't me. What can I expect from the prosecutor? Thanks

Probably a trial or an unsafe driving ticket which will have $450.00 -$550.00 in fines but no points for a first or 2nd time offender.

It depends, In general you can only use your international license for 60 days, but many of those are not legal either to use as the ones sold over the internet are fakes.

If you are found guilty the minimum penalties for a leaving the scene of an accident start at a 6 months loss of your license up to 30 days in jail and a fine. If someone was injured the penalties only go up from that point and can include more jail time and loss of your license and this is just... View More
Husband got open container/empty with two 6 packs in a commercial vehicle. He received two tickets which had been paid. Is that it? It was in PA and lived in NJ. Anything else to happen? I guess it is not a DUI.

I would suggest that you post your question in the PA section not NJ since the tickets came from PA a PA lawyer would be best to answer your question.
I plead guilty to a motor vehicle infraction and now after 2 months I wanna retract my plea for lack of factual basis. I reached out to my public defender and he told me he doesn't work for me any more. Told me I need to reapply for him to represent me. Is this true? If I reopen a case, he was... View More

Generally you would need to pay the public defender again, if the judge even Grants you a public defender.
I was pulled over after long conversation with officer he searched my car, me and arrested me with out reading me my Miranda rights. I was charged with a criminal charge. Since I was not read my rights as a part of an American citizen and having my rights, should the case be dismissed due to not... View More

Not necessarily your Miranda Rights only apply if the prosecutor intends to use any of your statements against you which were given while you were under custodial interrogation. I suggest you hire a lawyer to find a possible better defense.
its a sweeper ticket.
answered on May 15, 2018
You have two choices either pay the ticket or call the court and request a trial and fight it. If Fighting it I suggest you take a picture of the sign stating cleaning is on Tuesdays.

Generally not because it is also your responsibility to make sure before you drive a car that it has a valid insurance card, valid registration card and your drivers license, thus the reason the cops as you for this when your stopped.
answered on May 12, 2018
Yes a difference. with the driving without ever being licensed your looking at possible jail and a suspension of your license when you eventually get it an expired license is generally just a fine if you get your license renewed before court.
Can u tell me if that holds and points. If so instead of paying the ticket do u think it's best to get a court date and plead not guilty? Thank u for help in advance. I truly appreciate it??

It is a no MVC point ticket but your insurance company may still assess insurance eligibility points. With your record you may want to try the case and see if you can win.

A placard isn't a license to park anywhere without paying, it's just permission to park in designated handicapped areas. I know the answer that you would like to hear but if the question is if you have a valid handicapped placard in NJ can a meter maid give you a a summons for parking in... View More
All I see right now is that under title 39:3-61a it still states that only 2 lights and lamps are needed. Can someone share a bit of knowledge on this? Is there a way to see the amended law if there is 1.
answered on May 8, 2018
You can look up all the laws yourself including amendments either at your local library and even here many are posted online on Justia. If you need lawyer to do personal research for you, expect to pay a fee.
I have a picture of the sign
And there was nobody there directing the traffic so i passed the one lane barricade
answered on May 7, 2018
You may have a defense, you need to bring your picture to a lawyer to evaluate your chances of success.

It will not likely get dismissed because tickets in New Jersey do not get dismissed on basis of technicalities. If cop shows up to court to identify the person who ticket was issued that they'll be allowed to amend the complaint.

This sounds like a NY traffic ticket, I suggest you post your question in the NY section instead of NJ to get the proper answer you need.
answered on May 2, 2018
Best to call the court to get more information on the fines and penalties. If jail is possible I suggest you hire a lawyer
I was represting myself for first appearance and want to know if eligible for court appointed attorney, can I request at any time during the matter?
answered on May 2, 2018
Yes you can always hire a lawyer or request a public defender. But remember you only get a public defender IF you qualify financially for one.
