Legal Question
Hi,
I was travelling in a car as a passenger and my friend was driving it and a cop stopped us. My friend intentionally used my driving license as he didn't have his with him. And he used my identification. The cop found out and he came and asked me my name and i told my middle name & surname and not my first name. But he charged me. The summons he gave me reads "within jurisdiction of this court, with purpose to hinder the apprehension, prosecution, conviction or punishment of another, supply false information by identifying himself as middle name, surname to a law enforcement officer, in violation of N.J.S. 2C:29-3B(4).
Probabale Cause: Subject was a passenger in a MV, gave a improper name after driver used his identification.
At the bottom it says: "In violation of: Original Charge 2C:29-3A(7)."
Can you please let me know if this is a crime or just an offense? What are my legal consequences? I am not a citizen of this country and am working here. What would happen in the court? Will they leave me with just fine?
