By then, the state courts had already held there was a reasonable expectation of privacy in the common hallway of such a building. To compound the state\u2019s problems with this entry, the officer deliberately omitted that he broke in from his original police reports. During preparation for the hearing he admitted it, and he supplemented the report. The state attempts to get around this by arguing no reasonable expectation of privacy in the place searched, but that\u2019s foreclosed by prior case law. The entry has to be suppressed and the trial court is reversed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njcourts.gov\/attorneys\/assets\/opinions\/appellate\/published\/a3138-15a3274-15a3328-15a3829-15.pdf\">State v.
