P. v. Kwiatkowski CA2/6
Jennifer Kwiatkowski appeals a judgment following the denial of her motion to suppress evidence (Pen. Code, § 1538.5) seized as a result of a traffic stop. After the denial of her motion, Kwiatkowski pled guilty to transportation for sale of a controlled substance, methamphetamine. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a).) We conclude, among other things, that the police had a reasonable suspicion to stop her car based on the way she was driving and that the trial court properly denied her suppression motion.
The trial court imposed an aggregate six-year split sentence with three years in county jail and three years on mandatory supervision. In reaching this sentence, the court imposed a consecutive three-year enhancement for a prior felony drug offense conviction under Health and Safety Code section 11370.2, subdivision (c). The passage of Senate Bill 180 abolishes that enhancement (Stats. 2017, ch. 677, § 1), and this change in the law is retroactive.
We affirm.
