What the Law Says

DWI matters in Ridgefield Park are controlled by:

N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 — primary DWI statute
N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a — companion / procedural authority
State v. Chun, 194 N.J. 54 (2008) — leading NJ case-law

First-offense Ridgefield Park DWI cases stay in the local municipal court; post-2019 reform replaced mandatory license suspension with ignition interlock for many first offenses.
