State v. Dion E. Robinson (A-40-15; 076267)

          Although the circumstances gave rise to a reasonable
          suspicion that there was a weapon in the vehicle, the
          five officers’ swift and coordinated action eliminated
          the risk that any of the four occupants would gain immediate access to the weapon.  Accordingly, the

          protective sweep exception to the warrant requirement
          does not govern this case.  The community-caretaking
          exception to the warrant requirement is irrelevant.
          However, the inevitable discovery exception to the
          exclusionary rule may be pertinent to this case.
