1. Error by Police Dispatcher Requires Suppression. State v Handy 412 NJ Super. 492 (App. Div. 2010) This appeal required the Court to determine whether evidence found during the search incident to defendants arrest should have been suppressed because the dispatcher who incorrectly informed the arresting officer that there was an outstanding arrest warrant acted unreasonably under the circumstances, even though the conduct of the arresting officer himself was reasonable. The warrant at issue, which was ten years old at the time, had the same birth month, but a different birth day and year. The first name on the warrant was a variant spelling of defendants first name. The court concluded that suppression is required and, consequently, reversed the conviction based on NJ Constitution. On YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhYIH991Oo 2.
