State v. Shareef Edmonds (A-106-10;
067889)
In responding to a 9-1-1 report of
possible domestic
violence, once the police officers
found that there
was inadequate evidence to
corroborate the 9-1-1
report and determined that the
parties’ safety was not
an issue, there was no objectively
reasonable basis to
search the residence under either
the community caretaking
or emergency-aid exceptions to the
warrant
requirement
and the evidence obtained through the warrantless search must be suppressed. 7-26-12
