Why is my Case in Bedminster Municipal Court?Your case is in Bedminster Municipal Court because you were either arrested, issued a summons, or a traffic ticket by the Bedminster Police Department. The Bedminster municipal court hears disorderly persons offenses (commonly called misdemeanors in other states), traffic violations, and DWI cases. A disorderly persons offense is considered the least severe form of a criminal offense. Common examples include underage drinking, property theft (if property is worth less than $200), criminal mischief, simple assault or shoplifting. Traffic violations such as speeding, reckless driving, and driving while suspended are also heard in the Municipal Court. Two major highways, I-78 and I-287, pass through Bedminster, fueling the number of traffic infractions heard in the Municipal Court.
A unique aspect of municipal court is that there are no juries. What does this mean for you? This means only one person will hear your case: the judge. The Bedminster Municipal Court is presided over by Hon. Robert J. Foley. He graduated from Seton Hall University Law School and has almost 40 years experience practicing law.
What can Happen to Me?Even though the cases in Bedminster Municipal Court do not include serious crimes such as murder and other indictable offenses (called felonies in many other states), they can still have life altering consequences. For a disorderly persons offenses, you may risk a criminal record, jail time, loss of your driver’s licenses and fines, fees, and other penalties. Convictions can affect your employment, future employment, your ability to get credit and in some cases, even your rights as a parent.
