I don't have a license but he told me to park it and not drive home. That was it. How should I proceed?

I suggest an attorney. No less censor can have a surcharge for three years. If the charge can be downgraded, more information is needed there, it would save the attorney fee maybe more. If you are underage that is a different situation but an attorney may help that as well.
I was arrested on charges of shoplifting. The charges were dismissed and amended to a municipal ordinance. Since the conviction was dismissed and amended to a municipal ordinance this would not be a moral turpitude crime?
municipal ordinance petty offense? Moral Turpitude???

For immigration purposes it could be and it would depend on the wording of the ordinance AND what was admitted to in the plea. Thus the reason to make sure you have a lawyer that knows both criminal and immigration law when you are an immigrant in trouble with the law.

Yes it is a 4 point ticket. To eliminate all 4 you will need a good lawyer.

Yes you can negotiate with the prosecutor. You face 4 points Joe you can get it to 2.

Go into Court with Counsel or go in yourself and talk to the prosecutor and see if able to get anything reduced or if just a fine.
Want to know what fine is for this violation

I do not know either. It is an ordinance and not in the general books. Some Newark ordinances carry points some how. I did not know that either but was informed on this site. Best to call Green Street (good luck in that) or go down there and ask st the violations window or on the third floor... View More

This citation is for violating the duties owed to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. It does not have penalties but the companion statute 4-36 imposes 2 points.

Not sure how you can justify tailgating at safety for life. I would not try fighting for that. You can plead not guilty and then see if the prosecutor will plead it down from the five point violation.
Hoping to plea it down and lose at least 2 points.

You can file a motion to reopen and if approved you may get what you want.

You don't get a ticket and thus points for negligent driving from MVC as that is a civil matter not a traffic matter. What you can get tickets for are specific infractions such as careless driving, failure to observe a light etc, etc. But remember you can get points from MVC and from your... View More

I was charged with 2C:52-11B (1) My charge was amended to violation of municipal ordinance 271-1a Loitering. It was expunged, my question is now. Did i shoplift?
Answer at your own capacity.
The specific question is did I shoplift?
answered on Nov 18, 2017
What you did and what you have been convicted of are two different questions and yes you may have shoplifted but the law will look at it as a conviction for loitering. That being said with an expungment the general public will not see anything from the date of the expungment except what may be... View More

You would need to petition the Superior Court to expunge your arrest record. While you say "i was never arrested", the appearance of a charge is synonymous with an arrest.

First you are confusing a charge with a conviction. If you were charged the record would still remain even if the charges were dismissed. Second you are confusing the criminal and TRO charges. There are different systems. The criminal case history is showing you were charged with a criminal... View More

In general you can record any conversation so long as it would not interfere with a police investigation, arrest etc, so that would be the main question.
