My question involves search and seizure law in the State of: New Jersey
Hi all,
There was a burglary @ my home while I was out. The cops were notified by a neighbor stating that the perps had left, it was even on the report. (Perp seen leaving with tv.) When the cops arrived they claim my front door was left open. With that they had probable cause to search inside for any more perps. When in my house they searched everywhere open all closets and cabinets. Made a mess of the place. Is this legit? Can they just run in house like this and poke around? I always thought they needed a search warrant to do that.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
