Plea by Mail
Out of state residents have the option to plead by mail. An affidavit is available for defendants with traffic tickets who can not appear in person. Most traffic violations do allow this plea by mail. You must contact the court to verify this information and have an affidavit sent to you.
Failure to Appear Notice (FTA)
A failure to appear notice will be mailed to the defendant who missed a court date or the pay by date. A $10.00 fee will be assessed to each violation and a new pay by date will be set.
Warrants and Bail
A warrant for non payment will be issued if you fail to answer the FTA notice. A bench warrant for failure to appear in court can be issued by the Judge. Once a warrant is issued, bail can be posted at any police department in New Jersey, by mail or in person at the municipal court. In some cases a bail waiver can be signed to waive your right to a court appearance.
Community Dispute Resolution Program (Mediation)
A criminal complaint for a less serious violation, signed by a private citizen, can result in a court hearing. The Judge may advise the complainant and defendant to try and resolve the matter thru mediation. In such a case, a mediation session will be set up with 2 mediators, complainant and defendant. If successful, upon a mutual agreement, the complaint can be dismissed with a signed agreement between both parties. If an agreement is not reached, both parties will be scheduled for a trial in the Municipal Court with the Judge.
