The following excerpt is from People v. T.M. (In re T.M.), G045930 (Cal. App. 2013):
The standard of appellate review on a suppression motion is well established. We defer to the juvenile court's express or implied factual findings if supported by substantial evidence, but with those findings in mind, we independently determine the legality of the search under Fourth Amendment principles. (People v. Glaser (1995) 11 Cal.4th 354, 362.)
