faking NJ transit monthly pass?
I did something very stupid that is faking a NJ train monthly pass. I bought a real pass for the month, but I put it somewhere and could not find it. Instead of purchasing a new one since it’s almost end of the month …..I created one during the weekend and place it in my wallet. (I know it’s wrong, I feel shame) Later on I found the pass I bought, so both of them are with me.
Unfortunately, when the conductor check ticket, he also saw the fake one and called police. Get arrested by police and received a court date.
I regret all I did. Should not even think about creating a fake one. Also since i found my real pass I should not keep the fake one. I am not sure if the court will accept my explanation and the fact that I have a real card and try to present the real card to the conductor.
I just want to know, would I go to jail? a fine? a criminal record?
Is there anyway to get rid of criminal record? I heard that have some program that can dismiss the record.
Appreciate any response.

Travel Geek answers:
Losing your card will not be a good enough excuse for making a fraudulent one.What was the actual charge?
Get a lawyer or go to the courthouse one morning and find the Public Defender’s office. he will represent you for free.
If you have no prior charges he might be able to get you a diversion( no record).
No jail. A fine and a record at the most. DON’T miss court.
Most juvenile records can be sealed at 18 by going back to court with a lawyer and most adult records can be sealed/expunged in 3-5 years.

Is it necessary to get a lawyer? I don’t think I can afford them.
How much the fine will be for faking a ticket?
I don’t live in the county I got caught (actually another state), if I do community service I need to go to the county?
I was charged with NJS 2C:21-1A. (2), how serious it is?
Appreciate any response.

I was trying to fill in more information (the actual charge) and seek more opinions but I changed the question to vote by mistake.
Thanks for you advice and information.

How to get to The New York Botanical Garden from Newark Penn Station?
Im planning to go to The New Yoek Botanical Garden tomorrow and need a little help in how to get there via public transportation. I am planning to head to NY using the NJ transit train (PATH) to NY. Can anyone tell me the trains/subways/light rails that can get me there?

Travel Geek answers:
By Subway From Penn Station exit to 34th Street and walk east to 34th Street/Herald Square Station. Take the B or D Train to Bedford Park Boulevard Station, then either walk eight blocks southeast to the end of Bedford Park Blvd and turn left on Kazimiroff Blvd for one block ( about 15 a 15 minute walk) or alternately catch the BX226 bus to the Mosholu Gate entrance.
By Light Rail From Penn Station take the 1,2, or 3 subway north, to Times Square, then take the S subway across to Grand Central Station. From there take the Metro North Railroad Harlem local train to Botanical Garden Station.
