Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Keith R. Domicz, Defendant-Respondent

September 20, 2006188 N.J. 285

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, reinstated the conviction, and held that the warrantless thermal scan and the grand‑jury subpoena for utility records did not constitute unlawful conduct that would taint the consent search, that reasonable and articulable suspicion is not required for a consent search of a home, and that polygraph evidence remains inadmissible without a stipulation. The Court also noted a concurrence/dissent in part.
