Cal.4: Electronic search condition for probation for attempted robbery was reasonable

An electronic search condition for probation for attempted robbery was reasonable. Defendant didn’t object to a home search condition which is just as onerous. People v. Trujillo, 2017 Cal. App. LEXIS 813 (4th Dist. Sept. 21, 2017):

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding the condition is reasonable under Lent because it will allow the probation department to effectively supervise Trujillo. Additionally, the probation condition satisfies constitutional standards because the infringement on Trujillo’s privacy rights is outweighed by the state’s strong need to closely monitor Trujillo’s conduct and protect public safety, and there are no facts showing Trujillo’s electronics contain the type of private information meriting heightened protection or that a search of these devices would be more intrusive than a warrantless search of his home, to which Trujillo has not objected. The record does not support that the electronics-search condition is unnecessarily broad or will result in an unjustified invasion of Trujillo’s privacy rights.
