P. v. Crowl CA4/1
Jeremy Crowl pleaded guilty to attempted grand theft. (Pen. Code, §§ 487, subd. (a), 664.) The trial court suspended imposition of his sentence for three years and granted formal probation. As a condition of his formal probation, Crowl was required to "[s]ubmit [his] person, vehicle, residence, property, personal effects, computers, and recordable media . . . to search at any time with or without a warrant, and with or without reasonable cause, when required by [the probation officer] or law enforcement officer."
Crowl appeals. He contends the condition requiring him to submit his "computers" and "recordable media" to warrantless search is unreasonable, unconstitutionally overbroad, and impermissibly burdens the constitutional rights of third parties. We conclude the challenged condition is reasonable under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent) and Crowl's remaining contentions were forfeited by his failure to raise them in the trial court.
