In NJ v Dale Edwards, the officer searched the vehicle revealing Methamphetamine and a loaded 9mm handgun. The defendant appealed, and the NJ Superior Court (Appellate) examined the facts to examine several legal issues: Was the stop lawful? If so, was the extension of the stop supported by Reasonable Articulable Suspicion? Was there Probable Cause to Search the vehicle? Lastly, should the defendant have been advised of his Miranda Rights and should the statements be suppressed? Join Instructor Joey Sperlazza as he breaks down the court's decision.
