- STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. TYRONE K. ELLISON (21-09-0693, MORRIS COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (RECORD IMPOUNDED) A-2905-22 Appellate Aug. 19, 2025 Summary Summary - A-2905-22 This appeal raises a novel issue regarding whether an officer's observation of defendant's entry of his passcode into his cell phone violates defendant's right to privacy and Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The court holds that defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy given the facts of this case. The court further holds there was no violation of defendant's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination where defendant voluntarily requested his cell phone, was not compelled to provide the passcode and voluntarily entered the passcode in front of the officer. Moreover, the State would have inevitably discovered the passcode for defendant's cell phone by the issuance of an Andrews order. State v. Andrews , 243 N.J. 447 (2020). Close
