State v. Oberlton

In State v. Oberlton, 262 N.J. Super. 204, 620 A.2d 468 (Law Div. 1992), a Camden County police officer pulled over a white Toyota because it had "tinted" material on the windshield. Subsequent to the stop, a twenty-two (22) caliber handgun was located below the passenger seat. The defendants were then arrested for possession of a handgun in violation for N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5b. In denying their Motion to Suppress, the Oberlton court concluded that a motor vehicle stop based upon a police officer's conclusion that "tinted" windows violate New Jersey law is a valid stop.
