I wonder if a school bus driver reported it to the resource officer or local PD and got your plate wrong. I believe NJ is a state where they can file an official report and the police will issue summones based on it.

That’s possible, but the papers have my name on it. And I wasn’t even driving my own car that day, which was very strange. I was driving my dads, but the site and municipal office pinpointed me. Could it be possible for an officer who was crossing the street to report me? Because the school zone is also along the road to the police department and the fire department.

Unless they contacted your father or had contact with you, this makes even less sense now, unless you are the registered Owner of the vehicle.

Definitely not. My dad wouldn’t be speaking to any officer lol. And my name isn’t under that car. The whole situation is just really strange. I’ve panicked the entire morning and cried a bit about 2 hours ago thinking the worst lol. But tbh I don’t think there’s much I can do but wait for the first court date.

Wait!! They have to have the make and model of the car.

If the car you were driving isn't in your name something is totally off!!

Yea so I’m talking with my dad about this. The car is his, but they had my name written on all 5 violations. My address is also in another town, but the lawyer’s ads were sent to his place, not mine. I have not received anything via mail to my address. He thinks this is SUPER sus, which I’m like oh shit you’re right! Nothing really makes sense.

Something is fishy for sure!! If you were not pulled over, they would not have your name and dad would be getting the tickets, which he can say he wasn't in his car at that time, he was at work.

But what could it possibly be then? I think this is worse than just a fucking ticket….

Might be worth a call to a lawyer.

Sounds like the police wrote up some BS tickets.
