STATE JUSTICES OKAY POLICE SEARCH OF PARKED CARS WITHOUT WARRANTS
Police do not need a warrant to search an unoccupied parked car if they have
reliable information the vehicle is being used to store drugs and there is a
chance someone might move the car, the state Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
The decision was described yesterday as a major victory for law enforcement,
but public defenders said it still affords residents greater protections
than the federal courts have granted on search and seizures.
New Jersey courts already have allowed police to conduct searches without
warrants after they have pulled over cars in situations where drivers could
ditch the drugs. The latest decision for the first time addresses unoccupied
parked cars.
