California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Griffin, 130 Cal.Rptr. 648, 59 Cal.App.3d 532 (Cal. App. 1976):

2 The judge determined as a matter of law that the unlawful search and seizure of the barbiturates did not fall within the purview of the 'pure happenstance' doctrine as discussed in Lockridge v. Superior Court, 3 Cal.3d 166, 170, 89 Cal.Rptr. 731, 474 P.2d 683. He commented that the search of the closet 'was just a search for the sake of searching'; there was no 'Investigation of other crimes. What were they investigating? They weren't investigating anything in that closet.'
