South Brunswick chief asked cops to fix tickets, lawsuit says
A South Brunswick police officer suing Chief Raymond Hayducka says he was punished for refusing to dismiss parking tickets written to friends of the chief.
In a complaint filed in Superior Court, Officer Ricardo Moreira said Hayducka asked him to dismiss a handicap parking ticket against an individual who had attended Free Mason meetings with him. The officer brought it to the attention of Township Manager Bernard Hvozdovic who referred it to the Middlesex County Prosecutor s Office.
Moreira said Hayducka intimidated him and other officers into not speaking with investigators or face retaliation, according to the complaint.

The governor went as far to suggest it wasn’t a good use of officers’ time to stop a group of primarily Black and Latino teenagers riding their bicycles through the city, confiscate some bikes and detain one of the teens.

Many of the larger cities and towns in New Jersey address the use of bicycles in differing detail for separate outcomes.
In Newark, bicycles are prohibited in city parks. Atlantic City has laws on when bicyclists can ride on the famed boardwalk.
