    Default Borough Ordinance Violation and Real Estate Application

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NJ

    I was charged with Robbery ( 2C:15:1A) got amended to Assualt (2c:12:1A ) and pleaded guilty to 148-1 Interfearence with Boro officer ( boro ordinance violation). I am applying for real estate license. there is question on application

    have you been convicted on crime, mismeandor or disorderly person offence in NJ or any other state?

    Should I answer 'Yes' to the question or 'No' ? I been told boro ordinance violation is not considered a criminal charge ( felony , mismendor or disorderly persons). is it true?

    Thanks for your help.

    Obviously nobody here can look up the ordinance because you chose not to identify the jurisdiction; however, it's very possible for the violation of a borough ordinance to be a disorderly persons offense and the offense you describe sounds like it would be a disorderly persons offense.

    You can research the borough ordinance you were convicted of violating, or you can consult a local lawyer. Again, nobody here can look up the ordinance because you chose not to identify the jurisdiction.

    Although we don't know exactly what you pled to, there are certain basics. If you were only charged with a municipal ordinance, that is a civil infraction. Civil infractions are not crimes. They can't considered for any legal purpose and do not have to be reported as crimes because they are not. Muncipal courts are civil courts. You are charged with a civil infraction if the only penalty is a civil forfeiture and you have no right to have an attorney appointed.
