What are the circumstances in which a defendant is charged in a motor vehicle accident?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. N.P. (In re N.P.), A155677 (Cal. App. 2019):
The circumstances here are not materially different from those in the above recited cases. In fact, here, unlike in Florida v. J.L., there was not even a report of someone carrying a gun. Indeed, there was no report of any kind of weapon being used. Rather, the dispatch call was regarding a reported cell phone theft.
The Attorney General also points to the officer's testimony that defendant "appeared nervous."
