In re A.F. CA2/6
Appellant A.F., a juvenile, was in a car with two men. Police stopped the car and ordered the occupants out. One of the officers then saw a loaded 9mm handgun on top of the center console. The juvenile court denied appellant’s suppression motion. It sustained felony charges of possession of a firearm and live ammunition, and found the gang enhancements true.
Appellant contends that the police lacked probable cause to stop the car, and the statements he subsequently made were taken in violation of Miranda. We affirm the denial of the suppression motion. The claimed Miranda violation was forfeited by appellant’s failure to raise it below. Nonetheless, we conclude that there was no violation.
