Hamilton<\/a>, __ Wn. App. __, 320 P.3d 142 (2014).<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cquick patdown\u201d while juveniles were standing next to a police car wouldn\u2019t make a reasonable juvenile think he was in custody, and his production of marijuana on request was not suppressed. \u201cBased on the totality of the circumstances, we conclude that a reasonable sixteen-year-old would not have believed he was under restraint to the degree associated with a formal arrest at the time the officer asked him whether he had any drugs. Consequently, the trial court did not err by denying J.T.M.&#8217;s motion to suppress the first statement or the marihuana seized from his pocket.\u201d [Yeah, right. The officer frisked him first.
