New Jersey Search and Seizure Law, with coverage of Arrests, Confessions, and Privacy Expectations, provides a clear and comprehensive approach to the study of modern constitutional criminal procedure. It provides extensive analysis of constitutional criminal procedure, investigative detentions, the law of arrest, search & seizure, privacy expectations, administrative and regulatory searches, private searches, confession law, and foreign nationals.

New Jersey Search and Seizure Law, with coverage of Arrests, Confessions, and Privacy Expectations, provides a clear and comprehensive approach to the study of modern constitutional criminal procedure. It analyzes the classical and current United States Supreme Court and federal circuit court decisions, along with relevant state court decisions that impact the day-to-day duties of law enforcement and criminal justice professionals. Search and Seizure Law removes the guesswork in, and tedious search for, “today’s law.” Where relevant, specific areas of state court departure have been identified. This is where various state courts employ “New Federalism” to rely on their own constitutions to provide state citizens with added protection to their rights and liberties. Search and Seizure Law is an officer’s, attorney’s or law/criminal justice student’s or professor’s valuable reference for the Laws of Arrest, Confessions, and Privacy Expectations.
