Why did my case get moved up to the supreme court, am I facing jail time?

While riding my motorcycle to work I skipped a toll and my license plate was not on my bike. I was spotted my the police while waiting in traffic to drive through the tunnel to get into NYC (I was in NJ) since i had my head phones in I did not hear the cops call out, suddenly I was being pulled off my bike and had 5 other officers pin me down. they kept telling me to relax like i was resisting but I am a professional body builder and its not easy for a man of my size to bend/ have hands behind back. I was put into a holding cell in NJ for a couple hours before i was let go. I received a bunch of tickets and fines but i was NOT fingerprinted. the day of my hearing came and i was notified that it was pushed back and moved up to the supreme court. why is that? people have been telling me that its probably because they don't know which local court/state should hear my case but the incident happened in NJ before i got in the tunnel and i was held in NJ holding cell. I'm scared
