What’s The Penalty For Stalking In New Jersey?
In most cases, stalking will be charged as a fourth degree crime in New Jersey, which carries a potential sentence of 18 months in prison, plus fines that can reach $10,000. There are circumstances that will bump the charge to a third degree crime, which can increase the possible prison time to three to five years. As a third degree stalking charge, the prosecution will have to prove that you engaged in stalking behaviors that violated a restraining order, while you were on parole or probation, or that it is a second offense, and you have been convicted of stalking in the past. These charges are extremely serious, and will leave you with a criminal record if you are convicted. Call attorney Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9661 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney.

What’s The Penalty For Criminal Trespass In New Jersey?
Criminal Trespass in New Jersey is usually prosecuted as a disorderly persons offense, where the prosecution alleges that a person knowingly entered or remained in a structure they did not have the right to be in. Sometimes a criminal trespass charge can be negotiated as a step-down from a burglary charge. If the the criminal trespass involved a person from the categories listed in New Jersey’s domestic violence statute, you may find that there are additional penalties attached to a conviction. Involvement of a spouse, former spouse, person you’ve dated in the past, roommate, former roommate, or a person you’ve had a child with are all ways that the prosecution may seek to enhance your penalties, to include things like restraining orders, restriction of firearms ownership, and court orders to attend counseling and other interventions. A criminal trespass charge might not seem like a very significant matter, but the ramifications of conviction can impact all…

What Is Criminal Mischief As A New Jersey Domestic Violence Charge?
Criminal Mischief in New Jersey is the destruction or tampering with property belonging to another, and is generally charged on a scale to reflect the value of the property in question. Behaviors that fall under the law include things like breaking windows or tagging a structure, but there are other circumstances where the seriousness of the charge is considered higher. For instance, getting into a fight with a spouse and smashing their cell phone can constitute Criminal Mischief, and it would fall under the umbrella of New Jersey’s domestic violence statute. Depending on the value of the phone, the charge might be a disorderly persons offense or a crime in the fourth degree (or even third degree), but conviction on a domestic violence can carry much more significant penalties than jail time alone. Restraining orders can make it difficult to see your children, and you may even be ordered out of your home. Once domestic violence is in play as a factor in your case, your…

Probation caseload in western Missouri becomes an even greater challenge
11-30-2014 Missouri: Using fewer probation officers to supervise a growing number of hardened ex-cons has for years been a tough business for western Missouri’s top federal probation and parole officer. For the last decade, probation officers here have supervised one of the nation’s riskiest populations of seasoned offenders after their release from federal prison, said Kevin Lyon, who from

Breathalyzer App Calls Uber For Impaired Users
When out drinking for a night, it can be difficult to track how much alcohol you have consumed. It may also be difficult to know when you shouldn’t get behind the wheel. Certain breathalyzer apps have purported to help drivers in Alabama and nationwide better understand when they are over the legal limit to prevent DUI or drinking related accidents. Now a new breathalyzer app takes an extra step by contacting Uber, the ride service provider, once it detects a user is over the legal blood-alcohol limit. The company known as “Breathometer” has introduced a new device that informs drivers of how drunk they are, and hails a ride from Uber when the user is legally drunk. According to reports, the device is called “Breeze,” and has the ability to test the blood alcohol level of a user, similar to other breathalyzer apps. The application goes a step further to help drivers make better decisions, by not getting behind the wheel. The…

Inquiring Minds Want To Know: Was Tamir Rice’s Postman’s Neighbor Mean? (Update)
At the top of the story is a parenthetical, meant to calm the cries of foul for the story after it hit social media and Cleveland.com was excoriated for it. (Update: A line has been added to this story to give insight into the motivation to investigate the parents’ background) The story is all about Leonard Warner. Yes, that Leonard Warner. Who, you ask? Why, Leonard Warner. Have you been hiding under a rock? You know, Leonard Warner. Of course, if you’re the sort of person who doesn’t seek legal advice from past episodes of the Kardashians, the name may not mean much to you. That’s because it shouldn’t. That’s because the name is utterly irrelevant to anything whatsoever. And that’s why Cleveland.com inserted the explanatory parenthetical. And that’s why thought people everywhere ripped Cleveland.com a new one for having post the story. It’s not merely outrageous,…

CCA: Junk science writ covers bad scientists as well as bad science
As birthday presents go, Judge Cathy Cochran quoting me in a concurrence on the winning side of Ex Parte Robbins - the first, pivotal case interpreting Texas' new junk science writ, as it's been called, at Art. 11.073 of the Code of Criminal Procedure - was the best one I got this year. That statute, which became effective Sept. 1, 2013, provided a new basis for habeas relief if a defendant can show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that they would not have been convicted if erroneous scientific evidence had not been used against them.This is the second time the court considered a writ from Neal Robbins on this topic; see Grits coverage from the first, before the new law had passed. Judge Tom Price was the swing vote who switched positions in light of the new statute. (Congrats to Robbins' attorney Brian Wice for his perseverance.)The court faced a tough question: What to do when the issue isn't that the field of science changed but the scientist herself…

You and What Army?
“But they can’t do that?!?” Well, yes and no. Perhaps legally and ethically, they’re not supposed to be able to do that, but there is a reason Alexander Hamilton called the judiciary the “least dangerous branch” in Federalist 78. A straggler offered a comment to my post about the Ferguson Lie: But again, as one poster pointed out, wasn’t he under extreme pressure by the African-American community to prosecute? And because he knew the evidence would not substantiate the claim that Wilson murdered Brown, he chose to present the case to the Grand Jury to in fact “be fair”? Or more probably, to pass the buck so that he would not receive the lion’s share of the wrath of the locals because he didn’t prosecute? One poster? Math challenged is nothing to laugh at, but what else could I do? Is there a reason why repeating the same thing over and over is necessary? There is no exception that allows him…

Ticket quotas in Cowtown, privatizing Terrell State Hospital, and other stories

Supreme Court Rejects Police’s Mining Suspected Drug Dealer’s Cell Phone Location Information Without a Warrant
On the heels of this summer’s landmark privacy ruling in Riley v. California, the Florida Supreme Court issued an important ruling last month that strikes a blow not just for the accused but for the privacy of all Floridians. The court’s decision threw out certain cell-phone evidence against an accused drug dealer because the law enforcement officers did not have a warrant when they seized the information. Many legal authorities have hailed the ruling as an important step in the right direction regarding digital privacy. Shawn Alvin Tracey was suspected of trafficking drugs after a confidential informant stated that Tracey had obtained a large quantity of cocaine in Broward County that he intended to sell in southwest Florida. Officers secured an order that permitted them to obtain a record of Tracey’s incoming and outgoing calls from his cell service provider. Without obtaining an additional warrant, the officers used the real-time site location information,…

True Enough Threats
The Supreme Court will hear oral argument today in Elonis v. United States, testing the scope of the First Amendment when words that certainly sound like true threats are made on Facebook by a man after his wife left him. It’s an ugly fact pattern, offering such social media gems as: Exhibit 12 in the government’s case against Anthony Elonis is a screenshot of a Facebook post he wrote in October 2010, five months after his wife, Tara, left him. His name appears in the site’s familiar blue, followed by words that made Tara fear for her life: ‘’If I only knew then what I know now . . . I would have smothered your ass with a pillow. Dumped your body in the back seat. Dropped you off in Toad Creek and made it look like a rape and murder.’’ If this strikes you as too prospective, try this one instead: ‘’There’s one way to love ya but a thousand ways to kill ya. I’m not gonna rest until your body is a mess,…

Frequently Asked Compliance Questions About DEA Registration
Compliance with federal and state laws by health care providers (physicians, physician assistants, and advanced nurse practitioners) is critical. One of the frequently asked questions we receive is whether DEA registrants have to complete a separate registration when they practice at different locations. There is no simple answer to this question but the answer depends on whether the various locations are in the same state and whether there is any direct dispensing of controlled substances at the various locations.What is the DEA law? It's always best to start with the statute or regulation as that is your road map. Title 21 C.F.R. § 1301.12(a) states, “A separate registration is required for each principal place of business or professional practice at one general physical location where controlled substances are manufactured, distributed, imported, exported, or dispensed by a person.” Question: But I am not "dispensing," I am…

The Ram Has Touched The Wall, And St. Louis Cops Are Mad About It
In Latin, the phrase is “murum aries attigit,” which just happens to be my buddy Marco Randazza’s personal mantra. It’s from Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gaellic War: Caesar described the principle of “murum aries attigit,” which literally means the “The Ram Has Touched the Wall.” It referred to a Roman policy: surrender would be accepted before—but not after the battering ram touched a enemy’s city walls. Wikipedia explains the purpose behind the policy well: “The policy was to act as a deterrent against resistance to those about to be besieged. It was an incentive for anyone who was not absolutely sure that they could withstand the assault to surrender immediately, rather than face the possibility of total destruction.” As it happens, there is a football club called the Rams, and they happen to be based in St. Louis, Missouri, not far from a place called Ferguson. Some of the…

4 busted in Reno burglary sting
Last week four men in their early-to-mid twenties were arrested for their part in a burglary-ring in Reno. This ring allegedly carried out at least 100 burglaries of homes and cars within the past month. These arrests followed an investigation by the Reno police as well as the Sparks police. The arrestees allegedly resold many of the stolen goods on Craigslist and similar websites. Authorities surmise that the people who bought the stolen items did not realize they had been illegally taken. Possession of stolen property is only a crime if the person knows...or should reasonably have known...that the merchandise was stolen. The four suspects are facing several counts of burglary and theft. Their bail ranges from $20,000 to over $80,000.
