What is the test for a probation search under probation search conditions?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. J. W. (In re J. W.), A130043 (Cal. App. 2011):
Because probation search conditions serve a valid rehabilitative purpose, "it is of no moment whether the underlying offense is reasonably related to theft, narcotics, or firearms:" the point is that it aids in supervision and is a "valuable measure of the effectiveness of the supervision given the [probationer]." (People v. Balestra, supra, 76 Cal.App.4th at p. 67, italics omitted.)
