1. Consent to search voluntarily given here.
State v. Hagans 233 NJ 30 (2018)
Because the trial court's determination that the driver ultimately knowingly and voluntarily gave consent to search is supported by sufficient credible evidence, the trial court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress the evidence seized during the search.
2. Warrantless blood draw permitted in fatal accident based on exigency. State v. Zalcberg 232 NJ 335 (2018)
The totality of the circumstances in this case evince an objective exigency, relaxing the need for a warrant and rendering the officer's warrantless blood draw constitutional. The court held that the facts of this case, in totality, indicate an objective exigency: a fatal accident with multiple serious injuries, the absence of an established telephonic warrant system, and the myriad duties with which the police officers present were tasked. We also afford "substantial weight" to the "potential dissipation of" the alcohol in defendant's blood. Adkins, 221 N.J. at 303, 113 A.3d 734. Therefore, the court held that the warrantless blood draw did not violate defendant's constitutional rights in this case.
