A motorized scooter or skateboard falls under the definition of “motor vehicle” in N.J.S.A. 39:1-1. A “motorcycle” includes all motor-operated bicycles, whether it has a seat or a “platform on which the driver stands”. Accordingly, such devices may not be operated on public property or roadways because they do not meet the State and Federal Department of Transportation standards for motorcycles. It is not conceivable the manufacturer intended for this vehicle to be licensed as a motorcycle since it does not bear the necessary DOT certification. As with other motorized vehicles which are prohibited from being operated on public roads, the Go-Ped would be restricted to use on private property provided the owner of the property consented to such use.

Due to the current state of the Megan's Law issue, such information is not allowed to be released by the East Greenwich Township Police Department. The following is information provided to inform Township Resident's of the facts of Megan's Law.

A Message From the Attorney General: Prompted by the tragic murders of Megan Kanka and Amanda Wengert, citizens of the state demanded a law that would let them know when a convicted sex offender is living in their neighborhood. Governor Christine Todd Whitman and the State Legislature responded by approving a series of laws collectively known as "Megan's Law."

Megan's Law created a registration and notification procedure to alert law enforcement, schools, community organizations and neighbors to the presence of a sex offender which authorities believe may pose a risk to the community. This information is designed to enhance public safety and awareness. However, no law can guarantee the protection of a child. There is no substitute for common sense safety precautions, such as teaching our children whom to trust and knowing where they are at all times.

We are all partners in making this law work. We have an obligation to act responsibly with the information we have. No one has the right to take the law into his or her own hands by threatening or harming a sex offender.

Vigilante acts will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Megan's Law:

Megan's Law went into effect on October 31, 1994. All convicted sex offenders released from custody since that date are required to register. These persons must re-register every year. In addition, those who were on parole or probation at the time the law went into effect, must also register. Convicted sex offenders found to be compulsive and repetitive are also required to register, regardless of the date of conviction. Some registrants must register every 90 days.

Megan's Law requires convicted sex offenders to register with the local police in the jurisdictions they will or do reside. These convicted sex offenders are evaluated and placed in one of three tiers, based on the level of risk they may pose. Each tier level results in a different level of notification.

Notification can proceed only after the court has a hearing and issues the order allowing notification. At this hearing, the registrant has the right to be heard. After the hearing the judge may authorize notification, and can limit the notification to specific organizations or individuals. New Jersey law authorizes the Division of State Police to make available to the public over the Internet information about certain sex offenders required to register under Megan's Law. The sex offender Internet registry law can be found in the New Jersey Code at 2C:7-12 to -19.

For additional Information:

For more information on Megan's Law, contact the East Greenwich Township Police Department at (856) 423-4322 or the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office (856) 384-5500, and ask to speak with someone in the Megan's Law Unit.
