I'm 20 years old and live in Elmwood Park, NJ. I drove someone, whom I thought was 21, to the liquor store to purchase alchohol. I waited in the car, and he sucessfully used a fake ID to purchase the alcohol. As we were driving back to my apartment, I was pulled over for making a wrong turn onto a one way road. I explained to the cop that we were comming from the liquor store, and he asked to see both of our ID's. The person I was with handed them his fake ID and he was obviously caught. We were both arrested.
I recieved 3 traffic tickets: one for "wreckless driving", one for "Careless Driving", and one for "wrong way on a one way street". Also, a court summons that reads "....did: while under legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages , knowingly posess without legal authoity in a motor vehicle, specifically by having a liter bottle of bacardi rum and segrams seven whiskey. A violation 2C:33-15 A disorderly person offense."
Being that alcohol was unopened, and that I did not ever use or own a fake ID, and that I didn't purchase any alcohol myself, was the officer correct to charge me with this? My court date is only days away, and I'm wondering how I should plea.
My main concern is the traffic tickets I recieved. Because my license is currently on probabtion, meaning that If I get another moving violation, they will revoke my license for several months. Is there any way to work something out that will dismiss these traffic tickets?
