Can i ask why it would be better to move slow? Why would my license be least of my concern. I dont mind probation and a fine. If i cant drive i lose my job and home. And thanks everyone for the replies. And its hunterdon county new jersey. Rich man land. Im not but most are. Would this be foolish to try to save thr $1500 plus on a lawyer and represent myself? They (the police) said i definatley wont get jail. I feel like this is end of the world.

Nothing will make your head spin faster than trying to represent yourself. It moves fast, you won't understand the rules, and the judge will always error on the side of the prosecution. I have a prelaw back round and attempted to represent myself after months of preparation. It was not pretty.Originally Posted by brendtly
It is advantageous to draw the legal proceedings out for many reasons. The longer it goes the better the plea bargains get, witnesses stop attending court and/or die, if there are personality conflicts between you and the cops that gets alleviated with time, and you have more time for " discovery" where you learn the extent of the states case .
Worry less about your license and more about the other penalties your likely facing. Be prepared to be charged with outrageous felonies. The cops always over charge to give them the upper hand in the plea bargains that will come later. So the good news is that whatever your immediately charged with you with more than likely not be convicted of.
I would also prepare for a search warrant.

That would be beyond stupid. You will probably cost yourself way more than 1500 if you do it yourself
