One of the ways to potentially beat a gun charge in New Jersey is to challenge the consent search on a motor vehicle stop. For the consent to be valid, it must be a knowing and voluntary consent and the driver must have been properly informed of his or her right to refuse. If this wasn’t complied with, the consent and the search are invalid and the weapon seized must be suppressed in court.
Many times the police officer’s ask the driver to sign a consent form. That form must include all of the above information for the consent to be valid. If not, the State can have an issue with the search and the Judge could suppress that evidence if the defense attorney files a motion to suppress to challenge the search in court.
