State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Gino A. Deluca, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the warrantless search of the defendant's pager was permissible under the exigent circumstances exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement. The Court declined to address the search‑incident‑to‑arrest argument because the exigent circumstances finding rendered it unnecessary.
