has one there for you we're going to give you a copy of this he's going to give you the actual traffic summonses um in like one way wrong way and a one way we usually write reckless driving because driving drunk is reckless and then driving well intoxicated um we didn't really follow you for a long time so we're not in didn't do commit a bunch of offenses sometimes we follow people and and make sure and see how they are driving you just happen to drive into two police officers I um so what does that like so we're going to give you a court date and um the one thing we just going to write it down somewhere uh right here everything we do is still virtual so what's your email address um you could do is it something complicated or is it like no okay uh all right so the court will email you how to appear it'll be your first appearance that will be just a basic like a first appearance date uh and then and then from then you'll you'll be able to like get your second appearance usually like the first appearance they they just kind of tell you what what happens from that on the first one you're not going to need a lawyer or anything it's just the judge is basically tell you to come back on this day with a lawyers we do okay yeah like they're going to either say can you afford a lawyer or do you need a court appointed lawyer that kind of thing okay CU if you need a court appointed lawyer they'll help you with our court appointed lawyer if you can't afford a rury okay uh where this one go I'm going to go I'm going to go talk to your mother or whoever's out there and uh and we'll get this taken care of because somebody has to sign for you your your car is impounded you can have it um at two impounded mean we towed it okay it's just because we by law we have to tow your car when we arrest you for driving while intoxicated so you can have your car at 2 in the afternoon today you have to come back here and then uh we'll sign a form and then you can go get it okay okay we'll give you we'll give you a card of where it is but I'm going to go talk to whoever's out here what's a good phone number for you um I phone number is 22nd next one I mean technically it's the eth tomorrow your I think that they might be that's a force car you might have it in the viser I don't know can you explain what this means like legally what do you mean legally as far as Charing familiar with yeah I'm not familiar with any of I mean you're getting charged with the um driving while intoxicated right I'm going to write you reckless driving ticket in the wrong way on the one way that's it how much is the ticket I so that's up to the judge he's the one that decides the the finds hey you got the 22nd for a court date April all right thank you for [Applause] [Applause] did you make a phone call yet for someone to pick you up someone said that sister way okay or someone said that my mom was here I don't know if she's here yet but when I talked to your sister she was on the way okay I'm trying really hard to think of like other things so I don't have a panic attack don't don't sweat this don't sweat it it's look this seems like a lot I've never even have I've never even had a detention in school like this is crazy to me this happens often uh I've never even like you know in like middle school when you flip your cards like you have cards in school and you flip them to Yellow if you're bad like I've never even had yeah I've never been grounded I've never had a detention this it happens all the time crazy mistake um like I was out nothing goes on like an arrest record like that it's not a it's not a I don't have a record well you're arrested at marget but it's not a a criminal offense like okay I've never even been grounded like nobody don't know you don't have to tell your job nothing like that I could never do you guys have like scary people that come in and have I'm not trying to be funny happens most of the time it's regular people just like you and just dumb decision and bad luck and I know the freaking one way and like all right almost done okay kind of confused though what this means like legally like I don't understand all right um like I don't have to as far as the fines and penalties and that kind of stuff yeah like I don't understand any of it well you you have this court date I'm making it the 22nd of April right okay um on the back of your ticket there's a phone number for the municipal court if you're having problems with scheduling for your court day give them a call and uh they can walk you through sometimes they might be able to reschedule they try and work it around you know like your work schedule so for the like you just go and like I've never been yeah you you'll go there you'll you'll speak to the judge U maybe even the prosecutor I don't think the first one you would speak to the prosecutor but um and then uh you'll uh get another date scheduled after that okay like they were explaining um you know if you secure um legal representation can't hurt okay so what's the first date like what is it like as far as like the process what to expect there yeah it's not confrontational it not at all it's not intimidating it's not confrontational especially if you're on Zoom it's just you in your house with the judge they're just going to explain you the process and how to get a lawyer if if you need one do it's it's just it's lot of semantics it's not a trial or anything like that the first one okay it's really straightforward and then what's the second one like after that the second one's where you show up with if your lawyer if you want and it's your first offense I don't know what the fines are but the judge usually goes whatever the state minimum for the fines are usually what they are judge what's that what's New Jersey I don't know thought my head it's a it's actually a window I don't I'm just giving you numbers I don't if they're right but it could be say $500 to $2,000 whatever it is and the judge has that window to decide what the fine is okay and then uh loock device now so I mean I can't tell you what to do and an attorney could probably tell you to do it better but I don't even know if they're suspending licenses anymore um they may just require you to get an interlock device an interlock is the thing you blow into before you start your car yeah to make it run I've heard some people have um um and again your attorney is he's going to know more than me um if you get one put in tomorrow it may count as time served already so if you're the final determination is months away and you get an interlock you had you've had an interlock place in your car um that may benefit you okay again again don't quote me but that's something for um you know your attorney will help you out with that is this like look that one up is this like um like a like a record thing like I don't um well there's a there's a driving record like I've never even had a like this is the first time I've ever even been pulled over I don't know what no you're fine okay it's going to cost you a few bucks and fines and stuff like that yeah but as far as like you're not going to have a criminal history okay that's what I'm I don't like the ticket I don't care I'll pay but like the as far as like the record that's thing that I'm worried about [Applause] [Applause] so is this something that like if you um apply for a job like does that come up no no I mean if I go get my doctor you're not going to be like a truck driver or anything are you no no you're not going to go get like your CDL commercial driver's license no PhD I mean this is all mine this is your stuff is family here yet you know I think so but can't remember am I forgetting anything she's going to get this and her summons is and then the potential liability for yeah I think take care we'll just hang out for just a second okay I'll just I'll let you know um I issued you three summonses obviously the one for um intoxicated driving um reckless driving and then the wrong way on the one way that's it and you're sure none of it will come up as like I don't know how well tell me how extensive their backgrounds are she's good if you're good okay gu I just mean like if I were to like apply to get my PhD or something like it doesn't come up I don't I don't think it will I don't know how in depth repeat they they do background checks on you yeah okay I mean like I would like I work with Pediatrics like it um I don't think again that's more something for an attorney okay all right so here's your bag here's all your um the this is a report from your breath samples yeah so you get a copy of that here's all your summons is there's a phone number for the court on the back and here's the driver yeah on the back of the each one of them has the 822 1998 okay I see it and then uh your license and your registration I was going to ask as far as court goes do I get an email uh they should
