4. Weapons seized during defective DV search not admissible in criminal case. State v. Cassidy 179 NJ 150 (2004).
Weapons seized as a result of a search conducted pursuant to a defective ex parte domestic violence temporary restraining order may not be used in defendant's subsequent criminal prosecution for possession of illegal firearms where the search did not fall within any of the recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement.
5. Weapons seized during warrantless search by police officer acting as community caretaker admissible. State v. Diloreto 180 NJ 264 (2004).

6 Powers of a Fiduciary, Executor in a Probate Estate
Do you think you're entitled to money or might be entitled to money from an estate or trust? Do you believe that someone is unfairly claiming money or property that is rightfully yours? If so, and you are a prospective plaintiff or defendant, then you may need an attorney to protect your rights.
`These areas are extremely complex, and you should not attempt to reach a decision on whether or not to take action (and, if so what action to take) without the assistance of counsel.
The Law Offices of Kenneth Vercammen & Associates, handles Probate, contesting wills, contesting estates, trust mismanagement and theft, Probate disputes, inheritance problems, estate mismanagement and theft, undue influence, lack of legal capacity, contentious probates, and other relevant matters. We encourage you to consult an attorney for a confidential consultation if you are faced with any of these situations.
You should call to schedule an in-office consultation.
Our new website article sets forth the Powers of Fiduciary/ Executor. http://www.njlaws.com/powers_of_a_fiduciary.htm

7. Possession of Ketamine, a Schedule III Narcotic
GHB, Rohypnol, and Ketamine are the three drugs most commonly known as "date rape drugs."
The fact is that any drug or alcohol can make an intended victim less able to protect him or herself, but these drugs have an added punch: Each of them can make someone unable to defend him or herself against attack in a very short time. In some cases, it takes less than one minute!
Also these drugs are sometimes taken intentionally for various "high" experiences. Although Rohypnol and Ketamine have legitimate medical uses, when taken without medical supervision, they are not safe. None of these drugs is something to experiment or play with. All have addictive potential and can cause fatal overdoses quite easily.
Ketamine is a Controlled Substance, Schedule 3 drug.
