What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
I got into an altercation a few months ago where i was wrongfully arrested and beaten up
by a hot-headed officer. He covered his own butt by saying I tried to attack him soo it was
only necessary for him to attack me. the crime itself was completely fabricated to it's
most minute details (police report was like completely fiction).. the guy was a rookie cop,
6-months on the job, history of violence, etc. Now I find myself having to deal with life
as a student trying to support himself, and live a normal life, yet i'm stigmatized due to
probation and the fact that i'm in PRE-TRIAL INTERVENTION... Now, I'm stuck in limbo.
Since the economy is so bad -- i'm having a tough time doing the 70 hours of community
service.. My family had a very rough year, my father died unexpectedly -- etc. etc.
it's not that i got convicted.. i was only detained and charged..
but it's not like i got it thrown out or anything.. i wasn't really acquitted
in fact, it was left unaddressed. i never even had to plead guilty or innocent..
Is it possible to regain some of my name / reputation --- even if technically records
are expunged.. your ability to apply or be eligable for government jobs or say work
with children, or subject to federal background checks?
Also If i don't finish my community service in time -- will they lock me up!?
