What the Law Says

DWI matters in Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield DWI cases stay in Bloomfield Twp Municipal Court; post-2019 reform replaced mandatory license suspension with ignition interlock for many first offenses. Refusal cases (N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a) proceed in parallel. State v. Chun, 194 N.J. 54 (2008) governs Alcotest 7110 foundation challenges — the standard Bloomfield DWI defense angle.
