What is the credibility of a police officer's recollection that defendant was searchable?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Baca, C081871 (Cal. App. 2017):

In addition to the correctness of the officer's recollection that defendant was searchable, here we have the fact that the trial court deciding the officer's credibility as well as the reasonableness of the officer's knowledge also knew at the time it decided to uphold the search that the officer was correct. "[W]e cannot turn a blind eye to the undisputed fact that defendant was actually on probation and consented to a search condition." (People v. Hill (2004) 118 Cal.App.4th 1344, 1351.)
