Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT)?
A DAT is an order to appear in criminal court on a specific date for an arraignment. It means you were arrested but released without having to wait in jail for a judge. Do not ignore it—a warrant will be issued for your arrest.
Q
Can I be sued civilly if I was acquitted criminally?
Yes. Because the burden of proof is lower in civil court, you can be found liable for damages (money) even if you were found not guilty of the crime (e.g., the O.J. Simpson case).

Q
Can I refuse a breathalyzer test in New Jersey?
New Jersey is an 'implied consent' state. Refusing a breath test at the station can result in charges for Refusal, which carries license suspensions and fines similar to, or sometimes worse than, a DUI conviction.
