Question

NYS administrative code violation

Am I covered by US Constitution in these matters in that double jeopardy applies



Answer

Double jeopardy is for criminal matters. Generally speaking, the U.S. Constitution has nothing to do with such matters; however, the underlying principles embodies in the federal and state Constitutions and City Charter -the right to a fair hearing or trial and an avenue for redress of grievances or complaint- are applicable to the NYS Administrative Code.
