Does a finding of good cause to conduct a nighttime (6:00 a.m) search of a house pursuant to a search warrant issued by the Superior Court of California pursuant to an affidavit?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ela, B236622 (Cal. App. 2012):
Defendant further contends the affidavit did not contain a showing of good cause to conduct a nighttime (6:00 a.m.) search of his home. Because the search was otherwise constitutionally reasonable, any error in authorizing a nighttime search does not require suppression of the evidence seized. (Rodriguez v. Superior Court (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 1453, 1470.)
The judgment is affirmed.
