Requested body cam footage of the officer that reported me. Will find out if I actually did something or if this is some bullshit. In the meantime, thinking about extending the first court date from next week to some time after.

But what could it possibly be then? I think this is worse than just a fucking ticket….

Yea so I’m talking with my dad about this. The car is his, but they had my name written on all 5 violations. My address is also in another town, but the lawyer’s ads were sent to his place, not mine. I have not received anything via mail to my address. He thinks this is SUPER sus, which I’m like oh shit you’re right! Nothing really makes sense.

Wait, how long does it normally take for them to chase you down? This is my first traffic ticket. And especially weirder that I still haven’t got a physical ticket, mailed or pulled over. I’ve gotten parking tickets where usually I’ll know I’m in the wrong so I just pay and move on.

Definitely not. My dad wouldn’t be speaking to any officer lol. And my name isn’t under that car. The whole situation is just really strange. I’ve panicked the entire morning and cried a bit about 2 hours ago thinking the worst lol. But tbh I don’t think there’s much I can do but wait for the first court date.

That’s possible, but the papers have my name on it. And I wasn’t even driving my own car that day, which was very strange. I was driving my dads, but the site and municipal office pinpointed me. Could it be possible for an officer who was crossing the street to report me? Because the school zone is also along the road to the police department and the fire department.

Thank you! That’s what I was wondering. I didn’t know the steps to these things.

I think I might just hire a lawyer, if that’s the case. Either way I’m trying to figure out what the hell happened…

Absolutely. That’s what I’m planning, but I wanted some insight on how I should tackle this problem. Only thing I have is to google “lawyers in cranford nj” so

No, definitely didn’t. I’m really trying to figure out what could’ve happened. Only thing I could imagine was someone trying to cross and I didn’t stop for them. But 5 fucking charges?? Something just ain’t right… but idk how to fight this.

I plan to hire a lawyer now, but the first court appearance isn’t until the 16th. Should I wait or get one early? Trying to avoid whatever payment possible, but idk how this works.
