Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Racial Profiling

While a passenger during a motor vehicle stop, was harrassed and subsequently arrested for an outstanding warrant for a motor vehicle ticket. And after vocally expressing my opinion on why we were stopped, I received in the mail 2 weeks later 2 summunons for;

State of New Jersey

1. Violation #39:4-64 Throwing Objects from MV. $233.00

2. Violation #393-76 Failure to wearseat equipment-respo

Can I in some way, charge this officer with making out a false report?

Re: Racial Profiling

Your question assumes that you will be vindicated on the charges. If I am reading your question correctly, I believe what you are saying is that none of the things that the officer said occurred and that in fact, you were only stopped because of your race. If that is your position, you should immediately contact an attorney to discuss procedures and your rights. If you want me to assist you, feel free to call me at 856-546-8010. Mention LawGuru and your first consultation is free. You should immediately contact an attorney because any delay would only work to the benefit of the State and not to you. Good Luck! Rob Gleaner
