Id probably go first to meet with DA when they call your name and see what they offer, if they dont want to drop points then get a lawyer (or get one right away if you can afford it).

A few years back I had to pay a little over $600 in surcharges with almost same tickets as you. This is how these towns make money. Welcome to NJ basically....
On the reckless ticket, careless driving is checked now that i look at it again.

Yeah I’m definitely just gonna lawyer up.

I mean I was behind the guy the whole time and only in his field of view for maybe 30 seconds and the cam footage would show I’m just another car in traffic.

I mean technically speaking everything he says he witnessed wasn’t with his eyes at all. It was his eyes using a mirror that literally has a warning written on it that objects may be distorted.
