In re P.A.
P.A. appeals from a dispositional order in a proceeding commenced under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. He contends: (1) the juvenile court erred by applying an incorrect standard in ruling on his motion to suppress evidence and, in particular, in deciding that his consent to a search of his vehicle was voluntary; (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the court’s denial of the motion to suppress, because there was evidence of coercive circumstances at the time P.A. consented to the search; and (3) police actions, including handcuffing P.A., converted his detention into an arrest without probable cause, and the resulting unlawfulness of the arrest vitiated his subsequent consent to the search. We will affirm the order.
