California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, 190 Cal.Rptr.3d 583, 353 P.3d 305, 61 Cal.4th 968 (Cal. 2015):
In reviewing the trial court's suppression ruling, we defer to its factual findings if supported by substantial evidence. We independently assess the legal question of whether the challenged search or seizure satisfies the Fourth Amendment. (People v. Leyba (1981) 29 Cal.3d 591, 596597, 174 Cal.Rptr. 867, 629 P.2d 961.)
