What is the test for reasonable suspicion required for detention of a minor?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jimenez, H044307 (Cal. App. 2018):

" 'As the finder of fact . . . the superior court is vested with the power to judge the credibility of the witnesses, resolve any conflicts in the testimony, weigh the evidence and draw factual inferences in deciding whether a search is constitutionally unreasonable.' (People v. Woods (1999) 21 Cal.4th 668, 673.) We review its factual findings ' " 'under the deferential substantial-evidence standard.' " ' (People v. Ayala (2000) 23 Cal.4th 225, 255.) Accordingly, '[w]e view the evidence in a light most favorable to the order denying the motion to suppress' [citation], and '[a]ny conflicts in the evidence are resolved in favor of the superior court ruling.' [Citation.]" (People v. Tully (2012) 54 Cal.4th 952, 979 (Tully).) Thus, as the reviewing court, we " 'must accept the trial court's resolution of disputed facts and its assessment of credibility.' [Citation.]" (Ibid.) We "ultimately exercise our independent judgment to determine the constitutional propriety of a search or seizure . . . within the context of historical facts determined by the trial court." (Ibid.)
