What is the test for a motion to suppress?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Ruacho, B228173 (Cal. App. 2011):

On appeal, we do not review the findings of the trial court since it acts as a reviewing, not a factfinding court. "Rather, 'the appellate court disregards the findings of the trial court and reviews the determination of the magistrate who ruled on the motion to suppress.'" (People v. Snead (1991) 1 Cal.App.4th 380, 384.)
