NJ judge legally recognizes ‘friends with benefits’ protections

Booty callers everywhere — make some noise!

New Jersey’s US District Judge Susan D. Wigenton has legally recognized “friends with benefits,” ruling they fall under Fourth Amendment protection after a man was caught with drugs at the home of his special friend, according to a legal declaration on FourthAmendment.com. The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets requirements for issuing warrants. If there is no probable cause and a person is illegally searched, any evidence collected from the search will be excluded from evidence at trial.
