The following excerpt is from People v. Diaz, E054229 (Cal. App. 2013):
On review of the trial court's denial of a motion to suppress evidence, this court accepts the trial court's express and implied factual findings when they are supported by substantial evidence, and we then independently assess whether, under the facts found, the search and seizure were reasonable under constitutional standards. (People v. Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal.4th 155, 182.)
