P. v. Slater
This appeal arises from a felony conviction following a plea of no contest by defendant Carol Lee Slater to maintaining a place for the purpose of selling, giving away or using a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11366). Prior to entry of the plea, defendant made motions to suppress seized evidence pursuant to Penal Code section 1538.5[1] and to exclude extrajudicial statements made to the peace officer at or about the time of her arrest. Those motions were largely unsuccessful. She now challenges the conviction entered on her no contest plea, contending that it was based upon an illegal traffic stop and a later unlawful search of her truck.For the reasons below, we conclude that the traffic stop was lawful and the court below properly denied defendants suppression motion. Accordingly, Court affirm the judgment of the trial court.
