Is there insufficient evidence to sustain a finding that a minor violated section 647, subdivision (b) of the Penal Code by soliciting money from a police officer?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Elizabeth G., In re, 126 Cal.Rptr. 118, 53 Cal.App.3d 725 (Cal. App. 1975):

The minor contends that there is insufficient evidence to sustain a finding that she violated section 647, subdivision (b), of the Penal Code since no money was offered or received by her, and, in fact, no price was ever agreed upon. She argues the solicitation, if any, was made by the officers, and the record shows only 'suspicion,' which is not evidence. (See People v. Redmond (1969) 71 Cal.2d 745, 755, 79 Cal.Rptr. 529, 457 P.2d 321.) There is no merit to this contention.
