In re Victor D.
Appellant appeals from the orders continuing him as a ward of the juvenile court (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602) after finding that he unlawfully possessed a firearm (Pen. Code, 12101, subd. (a)(1)) and placing him in a six month camp-community program. Before the adjudication, the juvenile court denied appellants motion to suppress evidence. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 700.1.)
Appellant contends that the juvenile court should have granted his motion to suppress evidence as his home was searched in the absence of a search warrant or exigent circumstances. He also claims that the search cannot be justified as a probation search. At the time of the search, the officers were aware that appellant was on probation for grand theft of an automobile, but did not know specific terms of his probation or whether he had a search condition of probation.
Court find exigency justifies the officers intrusion into appellants residence and that there was consent to the search. Consequently, court affirm the orders under review.
