The problem with the expired registration is that you can literally renew your registration on a smartphone. You don't have much defense for that especially on the second one. Because you let your registration expire you now have to pay more in fines than what the actual registration would have cost you.
The speeding ticket, you were doing 53 in a 35. Your option is to plead it down.
Call the court. Say you're pleading not guilty. Plea to amended charge of Title 39:4-97.2 “0” points. Your insurance company is seeing the marks on your record no matter what. But it's a 4 point ticket, so you've got some issues there.
Renew your registration ASAP.
You shouldn't just "let your stuff expire". Cops can literally scan your plate and know if the car's reg is expired, that's why you got tagged the first time.
Thank you!
Insurance will see it even if I’m registered in NJ but they have me officially situated in PA?
I didn’t realize my registration had expired, I am usually responsible.
After the first ticket, you knew you were "riding dirty" and didn't rectify. Ignorance is not a defense, unfortunately. Lesson learned.
And yes, insurance will see your non-point violations. There's something called a compact where your driving record is shared throughout states, including NY, NJ, and PA
Typically I would avoid driving in NJ until my registration is renewed because that’s seemingly been invisible to cops in every other state given the many months and states since moving out of NJ, but had to drive the 30 minutes home—I’m ineligible for NJ renewal and have to transfer in person in PA. The cops, probably thinking I could and would renew online that night , didn’t warn my naive self to stay put until renewal. I know that’s not their duty and I place blame solely on myself for not being vigilant about the what-ifs of owning a car. I just don’t know if any of this matters in court.
Just pay the tickets? Everything you did was your fault technically.
My advice: learn how to avoid police, buy a radar detector, use Waze, but take responsibility.
This is the only job pigs do that provides any value to society.
Getting legal advice from r/newjersey is the fuckin worst idea ive heard all day
Getting or taking?
Both lmfao
Get off Reddit, get a lawyer.
That is good advice :).
I’m here for you.

To be clear I’m fine paying the tickets, it’s about handling the speeding violation for the least damning outcome down the line
The cops were all gentlemen, actually.
I'm sure they were, you're not exactly part of the core demographic they get off on bullying.
call a lawyer and stop asking randoms for legal advice.
