State v. Malik

In State v. Malik, 221 N.J.Super. 114, 534 A.2d 27 (App.Div.1987) defendant was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by the police. Her physical appearance and the contents of her pocketbook led the arresting officer to believe she was under the influence of drugs. At police headquarters she was "directed . . . to give a urine sample when she stated that she required the use of the ladies room. Accompanied by a female matron, defendant complied." Id. at 117, 534 A.2d 27. The Court upheld the constitutionality of the police action upon the dual findings that exigent circumstances justified the police demand for a urine specimen and the seizure was incidental to a valid arrest.
