Can a defendant challenge the seizure of a shotgun during a search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mosley, B255804 (Cal. App. 2015):
defendant was arrested, as relevant to the seizure of the shotgun. However, because defendant failed to make a motion to suppress the firearm in the trial court, he cannot challenge the search on appeal. (People v. Mendoza Tello (1997) 15 Cal.4th 264, 266.)
