Good luck lol (no sarcasm intended).

I've been bidding around North NJ for a while and I haven't won one yet. New Yorkers moving into the suburbs offer with escalation clauses / no contingencies / no inspection and crush the other 10-20 offers.

You already bought a home or you plan to? There is very little inventory in Nutley, NJ (which is a great town by the way) and a lot of it goes significantly over asking.

That’s strange because normally they would just give 39:3-75. I think that sub statute is for not having the medical certificate with you (assuming you claimed to Have one) so the court appearance would probably be to exhibit it to the court to prove you in fact have one.

I don't know that I'm acting like anything. My statement is based on what I perceive the town's goals and intentions to be. They are frustrated with vehicle thefts / prosecution or lack thereof, and this is a solution they are trying out. I've offered no opinion on what is right or wrong, and I added that the town's purported ability to sentence people to jail for an ordinance seems fishy.

Crimes are prosecuted by superior court judges at the county level. Ordinances are prosecuted by municipal court judges at the municipal level. Superior court judges have a single reappointment at 7 years and then they’re lifetime judges so that there’s no influence on them. Municipal court judges are basically part time employees hired by mayors and subject to whatever politics the town applies.

County courts usually end up dismissing the 3rd degree charges in exchange for the defendants pleading to disorderly persons offenses (inconsequential). The townships have no control over this. By enacting their own town ordinance, they can control at least the prosecution of the ordinance violation in their own courts. Whether that can result in jail time seems fishy to me, but who knows.

Reply to comment by heardbutnotseen2 in New Jersey already bans smoking in parks and on beaches, but it could soon extend that prohibition to a slew of other public spaces: Assemblywoman Murphy reintroduced a measure that would expand the smoking ban to boardwalks, race tracks, amusement parks, historic sites, and burial sites by rollotomasi07071

A ban doesn’t do much though when you can just refuse to give your name and walk away when caught.
