  1. People v. Juan

    175 Cal.App.3d 1064 (Cal. Ct. App. 1985)   Cited 11 times
    Finding law enforcement's search through the pockets of a jacket left hanging on the back of a restaurant chair at an empty table was reasonable because the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy under those circumstances, and explaining in part, "Indeed, an individual who leaves behind an article of clothing at a public place most likely hopes that some Good Samaritan will pick up the garment and search for identification in order to return it to the rightful owner."

    ( People v. Diaz (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 440, 447 [ 161 Cal.Rptr. 645].) (1b) Relying on People v. Yuna (1980) 112 Cal.App.3d 634 [ 169 Cal.Rptr. 424] and People v. George (1980) 110 Cal.App.3d 528 [ 168 Cal.Rptr. 44], appellant argues that an expectation of privacy is intrinsic to an article of clothing such as a jacket. Both Yuna and George involved searches of a jacket and vest pocket, respectively, inside automobiles under circumstances where there was probable cause to believe that contraband was being transported in those vehicles.
