Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Re: bench warrant from a differnt state

it means if he drives in N.J. and is stopped by cops, they will arrest him. If his car is registered under his name and a cop runs his license plate while riding behind him, he can pull him over and arrest him. No cops will come to his door. But eventually the ticket will catch up to him. N.J. DMV may notify NY DMV to suspend his license for failure to pay the ticket. If he drives in N.J. he may be driving with his N.J. driving priveleges suspended. So he may get a ticket for driving while suspended on top of getting arrested.

Re: bench warrant from a differnt state

What this means is the judge issued a warrant for your friend's arrest because he either didn't pay the ticket when he was supposed to or didn't show up in court when he was supposed to. Yes, the police might very well come knocking on his door to arrest him. More realistically though, if he ever gets pulled over for another traffic violation the police officer who pulled him over will then arrest him. It could be either New York or New Jersey police.The thing to do is to call the court where the warrant was issued, find out how much bail to pay, pay the bail, and then either pay the ticket or plead not guilty and get a court date to try to fight or work out a deal on the ticket. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to this in various courts in New Jersey in the past. Please call me at 908-272-0111 if you would like to discuss this in more detail. There is never any charge for simply calling and discussing a case with me. Thank you.
