How does the Court of Appeal review a search warrant application?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jones, B252035 (Cal. App. 2014):

conflicts in the testimony, weigh the evidence and draw factual inferences in deciding whether a search is constitutionally unreasonable. [Citation.] Accordingly, in reviewing the instant suppression order, we consider the record in the light most favorable to [the prevailing party] since 'all factual conflicts must be resolved in the manner most favorable to the erior court's disposition on the [suppression] motion.' [Citation.] But while we defer to the superior court's express and implied factual findings if they are supported by substantial evidence, we exercise our independent judgment in determining the legality of a search on the facts so found. [Citations.]" (People v. Woods (1999) 21 Cal.4th 668, 673-674.)
