1. Police Could Search Car Involved in Robbery Without a Warrant. State v. Minitee 210 NJ 307 (2012)
Under the circumstances of this case, the trial court correctly denied the defendant's motion to suppress because the warrantless search of the SUV that was involved in the robbery fit within the scope of the automobile exception to the search warrant requirement.
2. No Jail For Careless Driving Unless Finding of Aggravating Circumstances. State v. Palma 426 NJ Super. 510 (App. Div. 2012)
On appeal from a trial de novo in the Law Division, the court reversed and remanded for resentencing consistent with the principles established in State v. Moran, 202 N.J. 311 (2010). The court holds that the imposition of a custodial sentence for careless driving, N.J.S.A. 39:4-97, requires a finding of aggravating circumstances evincing as "a matter of degree" more than mere carelessness, and that the tragic death of the victim, resulting from a motor vehicle violation, is not dispositive of whether a custodial sentence is appropriate under the circumstances.
