1. Recent Cases: If no Probable Cause to Arrest, Search of Person is Improper State v. Gibson 214 NJ 564 (2014).
There is insufficient evidence in the record to support a finding that Officer Comegno had probable cause to arrest Gibson for defiant trespass; therefore, the subsequent search at the stationhouse was unconstitutional and the drug evidence seized during the search must be suppressed.

2. After Eviction, Tenant does not Have Expectation of Privacy. State v Hinton 216 NJ 211(2013).
Where, as here, an eviction proceeding has advanced to the point that a warrant of removal has been executed, a tenant does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the premises. Therefore, the police action in Hinton's apartment was not a "search" under either the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution or Article I, Paragraph 7 of the New Jersey Constitution.

4. Kenneth Vercammen and John Menzel were included in the 2014 "Super Lawyers" list published by Thomson Reuters. Of over 79,000 attorneys in New Jersey, only five were selected as Super Lawyers in the Criminal Law- DWI category.
HOW SUPER LAWYERS ARE SELECTED
Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.
The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in the selection of a lawyer, we limit the list to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.
Only 5 percent of the lawyers in each state or region are named Super Lawyers.
