QUESTION

Municipal court jurisdiction

Asked on Apr 28th, 2015 on Criminal Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I was charged with harassment in municipal court for sending an anonymous text. 3 prosecutors looked at the case and there wasn't enough evidence to proceed. The judge however said I was not to have contact with the victim or attend a event of the school where he coached. While he was coaching at another location I showed up to a JV event in another time other than where the judge sits. They charged me with 2c:29-9a violating a court order which county downgraded to harassment again. My question is does a judge in one town have the jurisdiction to say I can't be somewhere in another town? I never received anything in writing , this was just her telling me and the victim what we can and cant do but again does she have jurisdiction in another town to have me arrested?

 Municipal court ruling by the judge would bind you from contacting the person. We see that solution , The majority of these cases are settled by having the judge rule that person A cannot contact person B.  What was the basis for the original order not allowing contact ? Please call if you would like to discuss representation to address the charge.
