In reviewing a motion to suppress evidence, what is the effect of the trial court's ruling on the motion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Martin, E053638 (Cal. App. 2012):

In reviewing the trial court's ruling on a motion to suppress evidence, we view the record in the light most favorable to the ruling and defer to the trial court's express or implied findings of fact when supported by substantial evidence. However, we exercise our independent judgment in determining whether, on those facts, the search was constitutionally reasonable. (People v. Carter (2005) 36 Cal.4th 1114, 1140.)
