Traffic Enforcement & Prosecution

 

The major thoroughfares in the Town of Marbletown are NY 213 and US 209. There is a higher instance of enforcement since Ulster Community College is located in town. Enforcement is handled primarily by the NYS Police from “Troop F” and the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office. Speeding tickets are usually written for speeds more than 10 mph over the limit, except in lower speed zones. The police regularly look for miscellaneous vehicle and traffic violations to initiate traffic stops.

 

Traffic Court

 

The NYS Police are prohibited from negotiating plea bargains on traffic violations.  As a result, a "special town prosecutor' has been appointed to deal with tickets written by the NYS police. 

 

Local police officers andUlster Sheriff's Deputies generally prosecute their own tickets. Most tickets are resolved through plea bargains.

 

The wait to speak to speak to the prosecutor or prosecuting officers is typically can last 1-2 hours.  Attorneys are permitted to appear without their clients being present for traffic court.

Criminal Law Enforcement & Prosecution

 

All criminal prosecutions are handled by the Ulster County District Attorney's Office.  The Ulster DA's office has taken a fairly hard line on DWI prosecutions. In 2010 there were almost 1,200 alcohol related driving arrests impaired or intoxicated driving (DWI, DWAI, DWAI-D) in Ulster County.  Both the NYS Police and the Ulster County Sheriff's Department made numerous arrests. Most arrests occurred after dark with many taking place after midnight.  Police officers assume that many drivers who are out after midnight have consumed alcohol and or drugs.  As a result they are looking for any lawful reason to pull drivers over in order to investigate possible DWI incidents.  Alcohol checkpoints were established several times by state and local police.

 

In addition to DWI and DWAI, numerous arrests were made for Driving While Impaired by Drugs, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation and Driving With a Suspended Registration. All of these offenses are "criminal" violations of the law and, as a result are prosecuted by the Ulster County District Attorney's office.  The DA’s has a general rule that breath tests of .12% or more will not be reduced through plea bargains.  However, this is not a hard and fast policy.

 

One of the town justices in Marbletown Town Court is an attorney.
