Do you need a lawyer for a fake ID charge at Rutgers University in Piscataway? We can help.

The criminal defense attorneys at the Tormey Law Firm helped another client beat a criminal record, this time in the Piscataway Municipal Court.  Our client, who was an eighteen year-old Rutgers student, was caught with a fake ID.  Unfortunately for our client, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time – he was the passenger in an automobile that was pulled over and subsequently searched due to an odor of marijuana.  During the course of the search, the police discovered that our client possessed a driver’s license that indicated he was twenty-two years old.  As a result, our client was charged with a disorderly persons offense and faced a potential criminal record.  Fortunately, the Tormey Law Firm reviewed the evidence, met with the prosecutor, and eventually negotiated a resolution with the prosecutor that included an amendment of the charges to a municipal ordinance violation, requiring only the payment of a fine and, more importantly, did not result in a criminal record.

In many fake ID cases, the charges are issued pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:28-7, tampering with public records or information.  According to that statute, a person commits an offense if he: (1) knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, any record, document or thing belonging to, or received or kept by, the government for information or record, or required by law to be kept by others for information of the government; (2) makes, presents, offers for filing, or uses any record, document or thing knowing it to be false, and with purpose that it be taken as a genuine part of information or records referred to in paragraph (1); or (3) purposely and unlawfully destroys, conceals, removes, mutilates, or otherwise impairs the verity or availability of any such record, document or thing.  The statute further sets forth that an offense for possessing a fake ID is a disorderly persons offense unless the actor’s purpose is to defraud or injure anyone, in which case the offense is a crime of the third degree.
