What is the test for suppressing evidence derived from a search and seizure under federal constitutional standards?

" 'In reviewing a suppression ruling, "we defer to the superior court's express and implied factual findings if they are supported by substantial evidence, [but] we exercise our independent judgment in determining the legality of a search on the facts so found." ' [Citation.] [] Thus, while we ultimately exercise our independent judgment to determine the constitutional propriety of a search or seizure, we do so within the context of historical facts determined by the trial court. '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.' [Citation.] We review its factual findings ' " 'under the deferential substantial-evidence standard.' " ' [Citation.] 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's ruling.' [Citation.] Moreover, the reviewing court 'must accept the trial court's resolution of disputed facts and its assessment of credibility.' [Citation.]" (People v. Tully (2012) 54 Cal.4th 952, 979.) We review issues relating to the suppression of evidence derived

from police searches and seizures under federal constitutional standards. (People v. Bradford (1997) 15 Cal.4th 1229, 1291.)

In relevant part, the Fourth Amendment states, " 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated . . . .' " (Mapp v. Ohio (1961) 367 U.S. 643, 646, fn. 4.) The purpose of this provision is to protect people from unreasonable search and seizure, and it applies to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. (Id. at p. 650.) The remedy for a violation of the Fourth Amendment is to render inadmissible any evidence seized during the illegal search. (Id. at pp. 654-655.)
