State v. Bruzzese

I join in the Court’s judgment'in this case because I am satisfied that the arrest of the defendant was lawfully authorized, that the search undertaken by the police officers was incidental or ancillary to that arrest, and that the search itself was reasonably limited under all of the circumstances. I write separately because I am somewhat uncomfortable with the Court’s expansive rationale to support the sound result that it reaches. I recognize the distinction that can be drawn as to searches that are “objectively” reasonable and “subjectively” unreasonable, e.g., State v. Guerra, 93 N.J.…
