In re Edwin R. CA4/1
Appellant Edwin R., a juvenile, appeals from a probation order entered after he admitted to committing an act of vandalism. Two of the probation requirements imposed on Edwin are that he consent to law enforcement searches of any electronic devices in his possession and that he provide his passwords to internet and social media websites to his probation officer. Edwin contends that these search conditions are invalid and constitutionally overbroad.
We conclude that the conditions Edwin challenges are valid under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent), but the condition requiring Edwin to provide passwords to any and all internet sites he accesses is unconstitutionally overbroad. We therefore modify that search condition and affirm the probation order as modified.
