The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled 4-3 yesterday that police do not need a reason to ask permission to search someone's home.In some little cubicle down at ACLU Headquarters,a lawyer is wetting his/her/its pants right now.

I suspect the American Communist Liberties Union will remain noticeably silent on this one, as it may appear to dilute the protection of civil liberties for minorities if they extend those liberties to everyone's home -- just as they are conspicuously silent in defending the Second Amendment.

"The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled 4-3 yesterday that police do not need a reason to ask permission to search someone's home."
Well, the basic rule for a long, long, time regarding any searches is that PERMISSION to search makes the search lawful. The rule that the police need a good reason to ASK PERMISSION has never been part of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence that I am aware of. So this ruling is not eroding anyone's rights. All the party being asked for PERMISSION needs to do is "Just Say No."
