February 18, 196339 N.J. 250
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower courts' orders quashing the search warrants and suppressing the seized evidence because the affidavits lacked the factual basis required for probable cause. The Court applied Mapp v. Ohio to require exclusion of evidence obtained through unconstitutional searches, rejecting the State's argument that good‑faith or urgency justified the searches.
