Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

It sounds like the officer charged your daughter with improper passing and I am guessing careless driving which both carry motor vehicle points. I am not certain which improper passing summons she was issued but it may carry 4 M V points and the careless driving if that is what she was issued carries 2 points. Your only strategy is for your daughter to plead not guilty and request a Court date. You may want to consider hiring a lawyer experienced with Municipal Court traffic matters. I would be happy to speak to you about the matter. I never charge a fee merely to speak to someone about their case. However even if you choose to forgo a lawyer, you should appear in Court and speak to the Prosecutor to see what they may offer your daughter to resolve the case. if you cannot reach a resolution, she should maintain her not guilty plea and request a trial and the Judge will decide whether she is guilty or not. Again, please feel free to call if you wish to discuss the matter further. (201)-342-5030

You live nowhere near me, so I can not assist. The cop was protecting himself by charging her with causing the accident. You want to hire a smart and experienced traffic attorney and go fight this. Beat these charges. Then sue the police officer and department for wrecking the car.

Go fight. This kind of nonsense happens a lot. Almost all police officers are dedicated, tough and caring men who protect us. This one is a coward who will not accept responsibility for his mistake and he is attacking a little girl to cover his own backside.

Go fight.
