California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Scott K., In re, 155 Cal.Rptr. 671, 24 Cal.3d 395, 595 P.2d 105 (Cal. 1979):
3 "This court has always assumed the independent vitality of our state Constitution. In the search and seizure area our decisions have often comported with federal law, yet there has never been any question that this similarity was a matter of choice and not compulsion." (People v. Brisendine (1975) 13 Cal.3d 528, 548, 119 Cal.Rptr. 315, 328, 531 P.2d 1099, 1112.)
