P. v. Jones CA4/1
We are again called upon to address when a sentencing court may require a convicted defendant to submit to warrantless searches of electronic devices as a condition of mandatory supervision or probation, understanding that a similar issue is currently pending before the California Supreme Court in In re Ricardo P., review granted February 17, 2016, S230923, and numerous other cases. In this case, defendant Ronnie Jones failed to object to imposition of the condition in the trial court and for that reason has waived the issue on appeal. But even if the issue was not waived, the record demonstrates that Jones has an extensive criminal history, including numerous theft and drug offenses.
