California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, F074672 (Cal. App. 2018):

in determining whether, on the facts so found, the search or seizure was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, the appellate court exercises its independent judgment. [Citations.] Appellate review is confined to the correctness or incorrectness of the trial court's ruling, not the reasons for its ruling. [Citation.]" (People v. Superior Court (Chapman) (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 1004, 1011.)
