Description
As we have noted on a number of occasions, the Federal and State Constitutions do not bar all searches and seizures. They bar only those that are "unreasonable." State v. McKnight, 52 N.J. 35, filed June 3, 1968; State v. Davis, 50 N.J. 16, 22 (1967); State v. Mark, 46 N.J. 262, 275 (1966). A basic purpose of the framers of this important right was to protect the citizen against unwarranted invasion of his home by police officers. The intention was to impose an obligation on police officers, except in unusual situations which need not be discussed here, not to search a persons home until they have presented their estimate of probable cause for the search to the detached scrutiny of a neutral judge, and obtained his formal authorization to do so. Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 88 S. Ct. 507, 19 L. Ed. 2 d 576, 585 (1967); United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 105-106, 85 S. Ct. 741, 13 L. Ed. 2 d 684, 687 (1965).
