State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant and Cross-Respondent v. Gene Hinton, Defendant-Respondent and Cross-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Gene Hinton lacked a constitutionally protected reasonable expectation of privacy in his mother’s apartment after a warrant of removal had been executed, so the police entry was not a search; it reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further determination of the seizure’s constitutionality. Justice Albin dissented, arguing the majority improperly added a privacy expectation analysis to standing jurisprudence.
