California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. F.A. (In re F.A.), A144177 (Cal. App. 2016):
Applying these principles to the facts at hand, we thus must determine whether, first, the arresting officers had reasonable suspicion to detain minor and his juvenile associates and, second, whether the subsequent pat search of minor's person was justified.2 (People v. White (2003) 107 Cal.App.4th 636, 642.) Affording all presumptions in favor of the lower court's factual findings, as the law requires (People v. Shafrir (2010) 183 Cal.App.4th 1238, 1244-1245), we conclude that the officers' conduct in this case was indeed constitutionally lawful.
