1. Jacob & Chiarello: DRIVING WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR OTHER CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES If you are stopped on the suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substance, the police officer may request that you take a field sobriety test, a blood alcohol content (Breathalyzer) or a blood test. You are not required to submit to this testing, however, if you refuse to do so, and are operating a motor vehicle on public roads, your license may be suspended for a period of time. Presently the New Jersey Legislature has passed very stringent fines and penalties for driving while under the influence. Convictions for driving intoxicated will result in loss of your license and possible time in jail. A conviction for a third or greater offense requires 6 months in jail. It is in your best interest to refrain from drinking alcohol if you are planning on operating a motor vehicle. The present legal blood alcohol content (legal limit) has been reduced to .08. Even if you test within the legal limit, the police officer takes note and may testify about your appearance, mannerisms and demeanor, considering this testimony and the Court may find that you were intoxicated. MUNICIPAL COURT OFFENSES If you have been charged with a Municipal Court Offense, you are typically released until trial. You will receive a notice in the mail of your Court date - IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ATTEND EVERY SCHEDULED HEARING DATE. In most cases, it is important that you have legal representation in Court and an attorney will be able to present your best case to prove your innocence or reduce your charge. If you are scheduled for Court before you have had the opportunity to meet with your attorney, tell the Judge that you intend on hiring a lawyer to represent you. In most cases, the Judge will postpone your matter so that you can have an opportunity to secure legal representation, and prepare a defense. Your attorney will request all of the evidence that the State has against you, to prepare your defense.
