The following excerpt is from People v. Mason, 488 P.2d 630, 5 Cal.3d 759, 97 Cal.Rptr. 302 (Cal. 1971):

California, 395 U.S. 752, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 23 L.Ed.2d 685. The People contend, however, that the warrantless search was justified by the terms of defendant's condition of probation that he submit to a search, with or without a warrant, whenever requested by police officers.
