What is the test for making a claim that a probation condition is unconstitutionally vague?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, D071956 (Cal. App. 2017):
2. Appellant's opening brief states once that the conditions are unconstitutionally vague. The burden is on the appellant to prove error. (Plotnik v. Meihaus (2012) 208 Cal.App.4th 1590, 1600.) One statement contending the probation conditions are unconstitutionally vague, without anything more, does not meet that burden.
