P. v. Baca CA3
Following a traffic stop, a police officer searched the car defendant Sabrina Baca was driving and found contraband. The officer testified he knew that defendant was on searchable probation, and the trial court later confirmed that fact and denied defendant’s motion to suppress the evidence obtained as a result of the search, finding the search was a valid probation search. On appeal, defendant contends the search was not valid because the officer’s knowledge of defendant’s probationary status was not objectively reasonable. For reasons we will explain, we disagree and affirm the judgment.
