California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mesce, 52 Cal.App.4th 618, 60 Cal.Rptr.2d 745 (Cal. App. 1997):
16 A defendant waives an objection for failure to advise of the consequences of a plea by neglecting to raise the objection at the sentencing hearing. (People v. McClellan, supra, 6 Cal.4th at p. 377, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 739, 862 P.2d 739.) Such a waiver can hardly be found, however, where the objection could not have been raised at the time of the plea, as is patently the case here. (Cf. ibid. [error waived where defense had notice of proposed consequence and could easily have raised objection along with others at sentencing].)
