Just Say No! Police need a warrant to search your vehicle unless you consent.
On January 10, 2006 the Supreme Court of New Jersey said police need a warrant to search a vehicle unless they obtain the driver’s consent or demonstrate exigent circumstances. State v. Eckel, 185 NJ 523 (2006). Two and one half (2 1/2) years later the United States Supreme Court extended this legal principle to the rest of the United States pursuant to the United States Constitution. Arizona v.. Rodney Joseph Gant, 556 U. S. ____ (2009). Despite the law, it is common practice for the New Jersey State Police and local police departments to violate the law and search vehicles without a warrant. So if you are asked if you will let police search your car, just say NO!
