You probably cant give much information on jersey but I was pulled over when driving very early in the morning coming home from working on my friends car.
After passing the state trooper I was followed for a few miles and he pulled me over because I "failed to maintain my lane" which was completely bogus and then proceeded with assurance that I had been drinking. Fully sober I kept denying and he made me do four sobriety tests.
After passing them all perfectly fine he made me stare at his finger moving around for a minute at least concluding that my eyes told him I was under some kind of influence. I mean come on it's 2 A.M. I worked all day im going to bed.
He asks if I still will deny, I reply yes and they cuff me and take me for a breathalyzer at the station. I blew 0.00 TWICE totaling about 6 breath samples.
Anyway I went to court thinking it was fine and would be dropped as I was TOLD. The judge basically said I was crazy not bringing a lawyer so I inquired which leaves me in the same spot since they all want 3 thousand up front. How the heck can there even be a case!? Shouldn't I be able to go back and request a public defendant and they can take care of it since my ticket even says " driving under the influence BAC 0.00"? I just dont see how this is even a case.
