Moreover, no prejudice arose because the video would not have been suppressed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The officers were given consent to enter to make an arrest, and there was no articulable reason to conduct a <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar_case?case=14617911839617855186&amp;q=buie&amp;hl=en&amp;as_sdt=20002\">protective sweep<\/a> because of no showing of danger. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judiciary.state.nj.us\/opinions\/supreme\/A-20-09.pdf\">State v.
