In re J.C. CA1/2
J.C., a ward of the juvenile court, appeals from a disposition order continuing his wardship after he was found to have violated his probation. The sole focus of this appeal is a probation condition imposed by the juvenile court requiring J.C. to submit to warrantless searches of his electronic devices. J.C. argues the probation condition is invalid under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent), as construed in In re Ricardo P. (2019) 7 Cal.5th 1113 (Ricardo P.), and is unconstitutionally overbroad. Although an electronics search condition is appropriate here, we conclude the condition imposed by the court is too broad to survive scrutiny under Ricardo P. We therefore strike the condition and remand the matter to the juvenile court to consider imposing a revised condition.
