State v. Scharfstein

200 A.2d 777, 42 N.J. 354, 1964 N.J. LEXIS 215

Opinion

The opinion of the court was delivered

Per Curiam.

We affirm the judgment of the Appellate Division for the reasons given by it. State v. Scharfstein, 79 N. J. Super. 236 (App. Div. 1963). We emphasize that here, upon an anonymous tip and nothing more, there was a search of the person. We intimate no view upon whether such infor mation would justify a search of a vehicle if surveillance is not feasible or whether upon such information the person too may be searched if the alleged offense is grievous and such immediate measures appear to be urgently needed.

For affirmance — Chief Justice Weinteaub, and Justices Jacobs, Peoctoe, Hall, Schettino and Haneman — 6.

For reversal — None.
