P. v. Shaw CA6
Defendant Robert Clifford Shaw was placed on probation after he pleaded no contest to selling cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352, subd. (a)), transportation of cocaine (ibid.), possession for sale of cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351), possession of oxycodone (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)), possession of concentrated cannabis (Health & Saf. Code, § 11357, subd. (a)), driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or more (Veh. Code, § 21552, subd. (b)), and being under the influence of cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11550, subd. (a)).
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence (Pen. Code, § 1538.5) and his motion to dismiss (Pen. Code, § 995). Defendant argues he was subjected to “an unconstitutional detention and search” when the police stopped his vehicle because its rear center brake light was not working. For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the order of probation.
