Montville, N.j. Plan Would Allow Searches Without Warrants For Underage Drinking

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

What Fourth Amendment? I suspected there might be an underage kid inside consuming alcohol so that was fair game for me to barge right into these people's home.

MONTVILLE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A proposed ordinance in Montville, New Jersey could give police officers broad powers – including entering private property – if underage drinking is even suspected.

As CBS 2’s Christine Sloan reported, the proposal has some people questioning just how far police should be allowed to go.

Residents value their privacy in the upscale community of Montville in Morris County. But the proposed ordinance could change all of that.

Police officers under the ordinance could search homes with probable cause, and without a warrant, if they suspect underage drinking.
