The following excerpt is from People v. Emiliano G. (In re Emiliano G.), A149814 (Cal. App. 2017):
Emiliano G., now 16 years old, was declared a ward of the juvenile court and placed on probation after admitting to a misdemeanor count of public intoxication. He then violated the terms of his probation some months later, when he showed up at his high school intoxicated again. Following Emiliano's admitted probation violation, the juvenile court imposed a condition of probation authorizing warrantless searches of his electronic devices. Emiliano now appeals the disposition order, challenging the electronics search condition under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent) and as constitutionally overbroad. We conclude the condition must be stricken, because it does not pass muster under Lent.
