I got the ticket in Trenton new jersey for my front windshield having tint
answered on Mar 26, 2018
Tinted Windows is a no point ticket, that being said it is always an excuse to pull you over, so I suggest you eliminate them.

I suggest you hire a lawyer as you should have a warrant out for your arrest plus the charge itself has a 6 month loss of your license. Setup one of the Free in office consultations that most of us offer to try to reduce the penalties you face.

You receive no points on your MVC record, what you receive from your insurance company may be different.
I got a ticket for an "expired disability placard" - apparently by years. I didn't know it was expired as it said "Permanent" on it. I have to go to court for this, and I think it's a $250 fine. I am disabled, and sent in a new application after I got the ticket... View More

Yes you should go to court to claim the truth as you probably have to go to court anyway as this is generally a mandatory court appearance ticket and the judge may just waive the fine.
This is the first time I was pulled over. Should I plead innocent? Also will my license be revoked? How do I avoid getting points on my license or having it taken away altogether?
answered on Mar 15, 2018
To properly answer your question, you should setup an in office consultation with an experienced traffic ticket lawyer. Most of us offer a free in office consultation so you have nothing to lose. What I will say here is that in most cases it is wise to hire a lawyer.

I got pulled over for running a red light even though I just turned on red on a light that I’m able to turn on red but the officer pulled me over but gave me a ticket for unclear license plate even thought I know I didn’t do any thing wrong should I fight it and will the officer be notified if...

Probably best to pay the ticket the officer will be notified to go to court when you plead not guilty and request a court date.
I had driven past three police vehicles on the side of the road & taking up the right of the two lanes. As I approached I moved into the left lane & passed them on my way to the gas station just after them. As I pulled in two police vehicles pulled in behind where I had parked. They gave me...

The law doesn't have a specific definition as to what a barricade must consist of. This will be your word against theirs.
The open container was not in his car. One of his passengers had it in her personal bag and the police searched everyone. Not clear why. He pulled my son over for "ice on his car" and searched everyone. He was not drinking as designated driver and did not know that his passenger had the... View More

Generally it will cost more money to hire a lawyer than it is worth because for a first offense the penalty is generally a fine of $200.00. For a second offense I do recommend it as, a person convicted of violating this section shall be fined $250.00 or shall be ordered by the court to perform... View More

Get yourself a good lawyer this is a serious offense, with even possible jail time, or suspension of your license and 5 points. Jail is probably not likely but possible.
I have a municipal case in NJ. An officer gave me 4 tickets for violations of the same ordinance (putting out refuse early) for each trash bag that I had out. He said each trash bag out early is a separate offense of the same ordinance. To me, this does not make sense or sound remotely legal. Is... View More
answered on Mar 4, 2018
Ordinances are determined by the town you have to look up your towns rules. A lawyer will charge you for the research you can do this yourself if you want to save the money.
A) Can I tell the prosecutor I want to plead guilty with Civil Reservations.
B) Then in open court when it comes time for me to make my plea, can I state. " I like to make a motion to obtain a civil reservation contemporaneously with my plea of guilty".
C) Then stay... View More

A lawyer is not supposed to tell you how to do your own case just like a doctor is not supposed to tell you how to do your own heart operation. That being said your not that far off, but with any accident I suggest you hire a lawyer to make sure your rights are properly protected especially... View More
It wasn't My fault. The car in front of me was following to closely the car in front it, and then the car completely stopped to.not hit the car in front it and then there's when I hit the car in front me. The police gave me this offence, FOLLOWING TO CLOSELY
answered on Mar 1, 2018
Following to closely was proven by your inability to stop your vehicle in time. It does not matter that the vehicle in front of you was also doing the same, it is your conduct that is in question if you got a ticket. If you did get this ticket you need to get a lawyer to try to reduce the 5... View More

Yes the officer can ask any person in the car for their license. That being said in NJ you don't have to literally drive a car to be considered driving. I suggest if you would like proof of this that you look up the law on such tickets such as DWI or driving while suspended and see how... View More
So my license was suspended. I paid the restoration fee not realizing I had to go to deptford NJ DMV to get it completely restored. Well i got pulled over on February 18th and it still wasnt fixed. And now I have court for it. Can it be dismissed?
answered on Feb 26, 2018
I doubt your ticket is going to get dismissed as you were in fact suspended on the day in question and it was your fault. That being said if you get a good lawyer it could certainly be downgraded, but a dismissals are few and far between without a defense, which you have not shown. I suggest you... View More

You cannot go to court instead of him, unless you just want to pay the tickets for him not to fight them in court. Only a lawyer can represent him before a judge. He can pay the tickets online. If they are mandatory court appearance tickets unfortunately he would have to appear. I hope this... View More

The cops have one year rod charge you and many times the just mail the summons to you. But you may get lucky if they can't figure out that it was you.
The make / model / color / licence plate number were all wrong. I do not own a car with any of the corresponding information in the ticket. However, the drivers licence number was mine, and the name was mine on the ticket. I was never pulled over, so they can't say I was driving someone... View More
answered on Feb 17, 2018
I would say about 5% of all tickets today are mailed to people. the fact that some of the information on this ticket is wrong, does not invalidate the ticket, but will make it easier to try to defend it, especially if you were not driving the car at the time indicated on the ticket. Tailgating is... View More
