Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

2009 and arrested for a false speeding ticket issued in 1999.

My friend was arrested due to a

warrant for an unpaid speeding

ticket in 1999. According to the

Elizabeth Violation Bureau and NJ

State License Bureau, his record

was clean. He spent the night in

jail, went to court the following

morning and was release with a

simple sorry our mistake. Does he

have a possible case? What steps

does he need to take to pursue

this?

He MAY have a claim against the municipality where he was arrested and possibly against other government agencies. There are a lot of potential pitfalls in a false arrest claim. He really should discuss it with an attorney. If he wants to discuss it with me, he should call 877/688/3879.
