3rd party intervention still does not permit police to search private
home
State v. Wright
221 NJ
456 (2015)
The third-party intervention or
private search doctrine does not exempt law enforcement’s initial search of
defendant’s home from the warrant requirement. Absent exigency or some other
exception to the warrant requirement, the police must get a warrant to enter a
private home and conduct a search, even if a private actor has already searched
the area and notified law enforcement.
