v.
Chris CHRISTIE, Governor of the State of New Jersey and State Of New Jersey, Defendants–Respondents.
Decided Aug. 6, 2012.
SYNOPSIS
Background: Mothers, on behalf of their children, brought action against governor seeking declaratory and injunctive relief on the grounds that law that required drivers who operated a car under the authority of a special learner's permit, examination permit, or probationary license to display a decal on their car was preempted by federal law and violated the constitution. The Superior Court, Law Division, Morris County, dismissed action. Mothers appealed. The Superior Court, Appellate Division, 418 N.J.Super. 559, 15 A.3d 22, affirmed. Mothers appealed.
Holdings: The Supreme Court held that:
(1) statute that required drivers who operated a car under the authority of a special learner's permit, examination permit, or probationary license to display a decal on their car did not violate the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act;
(2) statute did not violate equal protection clause of the federal constitution; and
(3) statute did not constitute an unreasonable search and seizure in violation of the constitution.
Affirmed.
