I admit I was speeding through the train station parking lot. I parked the car and my friend jumped out and ran to the train which was almost leaving. A cop pulled up behind me and then drove up to where I was standing outside of my car. He asked me why I was speeding and I told him the truth... View More

Yes, the cop does not need to stop you, just read your license plate with his scanner and identify that it is you the owner and can mail you the ticket without any stop of the vehicle. More and more tickets are issued this way, its safer for the cops and one of the reasons we went to digital... View More
The paper only had a ticket number and phone number to call to pay the ticket written on it. Is it still valid?
answered on Dec 19, 2017
Well I think you will have a good argument in regards to the validity of the notice. That being said, don't be surprised if they don't send you a new ticket by mail. Meanwhile call the court to find out your court date, plead not guilty and I suggest you get a good lawyer.
That would require a written request per NJSA 39:5a-1. Also, this is a private school that has its own traffic fines/court. State v. Panther Valley says that a private entity forfeits the right to enforce traffic rules when it files such a request.
So, my original question is if there is a... View More

Yes, in most cases it is applicable because most private property owners have given consent to the police to police their lots.

All plea offenses would generally carry a fine unfortunately, you will need to ask for a trial or dismissal.

If you need records from Florida, I suggest you call a Florida licensed lawyer, preferably one in Miami.
Cop pulled me over for 38 in a 35. I forgot my drivers license in my other work pants.it was 530 am I was on my way to go snow plow some accounts. Pulled me over in my work truck, inspected the entire outside of the truck and gave me a warning for "Speeding", and said he would mail me a... View More

Yes he can mail you a ticket and yes you should pay it, if you can. Not worth going to court for something your guilty of.
answered on Dec 14, 2017
Yes you can but you may not get it. More information would be needed to determine the chances of success.
Received a ticket from police dept that she had a mandatory court date. Can at 14
you be issued a ticket through the mail.
answered on Dec 12, 2017
Yes you can get summoned for court even at 14 that is what juvenile court is for. You should get her a lawyer.
I was heading home from work. I made a legal right on red turn and headed for a left turn on a street 1 block from the traffic light. Cop came out of no where and stopped me. Asked for usual items. I asked why he stopped me. He said speeding but I wasn't. He asked me if I had a medical card... View More

More information is needed and a lawyer should see the ticket, but in general the answer depends on the subsection of the law you are charged with it can be as little as $100 and up to $1000 and even up to $5000.00 fi charged before.
answered on Dec 7, 2017
MORE information is needed, but Yes and you can get the ticket each time you do the offense. The only time it is questionable is when it is a continuing course of conduct. If a serious ticket get a lawyer.
I got a speeding ticket on my way to MA from NJ. Now that I am back in NJ and would like to pay the speeding ticket online it doesn't show up. I got the ticket on 23rd November. The problem is I cannot go to the court which is again a 5 hrs drive but the ticket doesn't show up online and... View More
answered on Dec 6, 2017
I think you need to contact a lawyer in MA where it appears you got the ticket. If not you should at a minimum contact the court listed and ask this question.
I was still in my lane and not gone out of it. I went to court and the judge dropped my case. Will I still be able to receive payments from the truck driver to fix my car and my medical bills?

You may be able to pursue your accident / injury claim. Consult with a local personal injury attorney. In most states, the disposition - one way or the other - of the traffic citation does not control the insurance claim. Good luck.
Shouldn't there be at least a month to pay a fine without penalties? I didn't plan to contest the ticket. I just put it on my monthly finances pile to be paid at my next personal finances session.
The ticket was for 'not stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk'. The... View More

I believe it is a 3 point ticket so paying it may not be wise anyway. The ticket has a court date on it. If you are just going to pay you need to do it before that date. Otherwise you need to go to court. Missing court is contempt. I may be wrong but the $250 is for the contempt. Call the court to... View More
I bought a old cheap vehicle which was towed a day after... I have been told that I am not allowed to get the vehicle back and even not my belongings from the vehicle until I will pay 6 parking tickets and the cost of the wheel lock that was stolen from the wheel. I explained that those tickets... View More

You have a very tough case unfortunately unless someone feels sorry for you, generally the rules are the rules in allowing you to take person items from the car. In any event if you own the car the law states you are responsible for the tickets.
And if he didnt check appearance to court do i have to go ?
answered on Dec 1, 2017
Depends on the town and rules setup for the intersection and your charge. I suggest a lawyer as these tickets are taken seriously by the court thus generally have a mandatory court appearance due to the fact that some judges do give community service, and if a really bad record even jail is...

My car was unregistered, and had no insurance because I was going to sell it, and it’s been parked ever since the registration expired. I’ve given back the plates and put on plates I had lying around my storage. Now they’ve towed it. Now, I’m concerned with these tickets .
answered on Nov 30, 2017
More information is needed and It depends on the exact charge you got, but the general charge has up to 10 days in jail for a first offense, license suspension and fine.
I don't understand why my fine went up. I spoke with the prosecutor before court, he offered me no points for a $400 fine. I declined and plead guilty. I also had a failure to prove insurance ticket which was dropped when I showed proof. Why would my fine go from $95 to $156? This was East... View More
answered on Nov 29, 2017
The simple reason is because when you go before the judge, the judge sets the fine, they can raise it lower it or eliminate it. When you pay the ticket your given a straight fine.
I was not aware of the move over law. However, I did use common sense to try changing lanes, but I was blocked. Again, common sense struck and I slowed down from 65 to 55 in a 65 mph zone. Was I supposed to go slower? When the driver the officers pulled over finished, he came into my lane without... View More

My belief is this is a 2 point ticket. Some opine it is 0. Can never get a straight answer. Anyway unless you have special circumstances like a CDL or you drive for Uber etc. you can negotiate this to O points on your own. You can use an attorney if you are more confortable or if you wish to... View More
Looks like 4 points. Is it worth getting an attorney in order to fight points or should I just fight myself. My insurance went up $100/mo for a two point speeding ticket back in 2015. What’s the fine potential in front of Judge Newman? Am I at risk of a license suspension? I work in Sales so I... View More

You will not lose your license. Always suggest getting counsel as you have a better chance of getting a reduction in points and fines with one.
I basically reside in NJ. This is my first speeding ticket . Is there any way I can get those points out of my record?
answered on Nov 27, 2017
You go to the court listed on the ticket. As for getting the points off your license, you should get counsel and try to get it reduced as far as possible.
