P. v. Muniz CA4/1
Chantelle Muniz pleaded guilty to unlawfully taking and driving a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) and misdemeanor battery on a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (b)). The trial court placed her on three years of formal probation and, as a condition of probation, imposed a Fourth Amendment waiver (condition 6(n)), including the requirement that Muniz submit her "computers[] and recordable media including electronic devices to search at any time with or without a warrant, and with or without reasonable cause, when required by [a probation officer] or law enforcement officer." Muniz appeals, contending the condition requiring her to submit her electronic devices to warrantless search is unreasonable and unconstitutionally overbroad. We conclude, under the circumstances of this case, the challenged condition is reasonable under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent) and not facially unconstitutional. We therefore affirm.
