P. v. Velazquez CA4/1
Nathan H. Velazquez pleaded guilty to possession of metal knuckles (Pen. Code, § 21810). The remaining counts were dismissed. The court granted immediate sentencing and granted Velazquez probation to the court.
One of the conditions of probation (condition 8j) is a general Fourth Amendment waiver, which includes an electronic search term. Velazquez timely objected to the condition on the grounds there was no nexus between the crime and the electronic search condition. The trial court overruled the objection.
Velazquez appeals contending the search condition is invalid under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent). The People first claim forfeiture and on the merits, argue the condition is appropriate for the appellant's supervision on probation.
