General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Von Cleef v. New Jersey, 395 U.S. 814 (1969)
Von Cleef v. New Jersey No. 837 Decided June 23, 1969 395 U.S. 814
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
Petitioner Von Cleef was arrested on the third floor of a 16-room house in which she lived. Police, without a search warrant, then searched the entire house and seized several thousand articles, many of which were introduced at trial. The New Jersey courts concluded that the search and seizures were constitutionally permissible as incident to a valid arrest.
Held: It is not necessary to decide whether Chimel v. California, ante, p. 752, applies retroactively, as the scope of the search and seizures here was "beyond the sanction of any" previous decision, Kremen v. United States, 353 U.S. 346, 347.
Certiorari granted; 102 N.J.Super. 102, 245 A.2d 495, reversed and remanded.
