Misrepresentation of Mileage of Motor Vehicle

In New Jersey, a charge of Misrepresentation of Mileage of Motor Vehicle can result in a criminal record. The act states:

N.J.S.A. 2C:21-8. Misrepresentation of Mileage of Motor Vehicle. A person commits a disorderly persons offense when he sells, exchanges, offers for sale or exchange or exposes for sale or exchange a used motor vehicle on which he has changed or disconnected the mileage registering instrument on the vehicle to show a lesser mileage reading than that actually recorded on the vehicle or on the instrument with purpose to misrepresent the mileage of the vehicle.
