In re T.P. CA1/4
Appellant, T.P., a minor, appeals from a dispositional order issued pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 after the juvenile court determined she committed second degree robbery. Appellant challenges a condition of her probation that requires her to submit to warrantless searches of all electronic devices under her control and to provide the probation department and law enforcement any passwords necessary to conduct such searches. She challenges this condition on two grounds, first, that it violates the limits placed upon a trial court’s sentencing discretion by the California Supreme Court in People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent) and, second, that it is unconstitutionally overbroad. Under the particularized facts of this case, we conclude that the electronic search condition as applied to appellant is reasonable under the Lent test and is not unconstitutionally overbroad. Accordingly, we affirm the imposition of this condition of probation.
