New Jersey | Traffic Law
I was charged with disobeying police order according to NJ stature 39:4-80. The stature states: "Traffic control by officers. When a traffic or police officer is stationed in a highway for the purpose of directing traffic, he may regulate and control traffic at that point, and all drivers of vehicles shall obey his orders and directions, notwithstanding anything contained in this article." However, at no time was I in my vehicle---I was at home when a police officer knocked on my door and ordered me to move my (legally parked) car. Should the charges be dismissed, based on the fact that I this stature does not apply to my case?
