will I be required to disclose this to future employers? - no

will this show up on a background check? For how long? - no

how will this impact getting a license in NJ? It won't

is this the same thing as a misdemeanor? No

will this be on any sort of permanent record or publically accessible record? Technically will be a court record but no one will care. I have probably received about 50 parking tickets (a similar offense) in my life and no one has ever asked about them.

  • me sponsoring someone's green card? No -

what will I need to pay? He said it will be like $30 but online I see 70-100 - whatever it says online when you plug in the ticket info

will I need to report this to landlords in the future , no

It's a non criminal offense. It's just a fine. Chill out, pay it, and don't be so dumb next time. You are really freaking out over nothing.

> Also real annoyed bc I saw the same cop not ticket to other folks right after me bc they didn't have IDs to give him. Should I just not give my ID next time?

There were people turnstile hopping after you?? Aka they saw you getting ticketed and still hopped?

Under NJ law, this is not a crime. So if you are ever asked if you’ve been convicted of a crime, you can truthfully answer no (assuming you haven’t committed another crime).

Court records are public so it will be out there, but it’s very unlikely it would show up on a background check that employers or landlords use. Fare evasion tickets are pretty run of the mill. It would be like hassling someone for a speeding ticket, nobody really cares.

If you have easy access to the path, the trader joes in Chelsea is super convenient. It's about a 2 minute walk away from the 23rd street stop. It's always crowded but they always have so many people working the registers so the line goes quick.
