P. v. Owens CA6
Defendant Sean Owens appeals following convictions for grand theft and possession of methamphetamine for sale, arguing that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence seized when he was detained on suspicion of stealing a “bait bike” owned by the San Jose State University Police Department. Defendant contends that the trial court erred by not requiring the prosecution to call a dispatcher to testify at a suppression hearing about the GPS location information obtained from a device attached to the bike; that the trial court erred in finding defendant was detained near the last reported GPS location; that officers lacked reasonable suspicion to detain defendant; and that trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by not asserting that defendant had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of his pants pocket where some of the methamphetamine was found. we will affirm the judgment as there was reasonable suspicion to support defendant’s detention
