Does appellant have standing to object to the search of a shopping bag, the apartment and the contents of an apartment searched during a search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, 125 Cal.Rptr. 192, 52 Cal.App.3d 514 (Cal. App. 1975):
2 Although appellant did not reside in the searched apartment and apparently did not put any items in the shopping bag nor take it to the bin, the nature of his criminal convictions for possession of marijuana gives him standing to object to the search of the bin, the bag and the apartment. (Jones v. United States (1960) 362 U.S. 257, 266, 80 S.Ct. 725, 733, 4 L.Ed.2d 697, 705.)
