What is the name of your state? NJ
My son ran out of gas on February 14th and moved his car to the side of the road. He called his friend who picked him up, drove to my house 2 miles away to pick up a gas can already filled with gas and went back to the car, round trip less than 10 minutes. He arrived to his car and a police car was behind his car, my son knocked on the window to show he has the gas can and the police officer yelled to him, go inside your car. I called a tow truck to get your car off the road and writing a ticket (39:4 56.5) for abandonment.
My son knew the tow truck driver so his car was not towed, at about that time I arrived to help my son with the gas as I was in the neighborhood. The police officer came out and said to me how do I know your son didn't abandon the car, he then proceeded to say a person came out of his house and saw my son jump into another car. That is true, to get gas!
Looking at the statute, it says the car has to be abandoned 48 hours or no plates on the car. Car was abandoned 10 minutes with registered plates on the car.
Maybe the police officer wrote the wrong ticket, he was a young cop. The worst part was the police officer wrote the ticket when my son was filling the car. My son saw him open the ticket book. Does my son deserve this ticket?
Thanks in advanced.
