In re Alvin T.
After two petitions were filed in juvenile court charging him with unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, purchasing or receiving a stolen vehicle, and driving without a valid license, Alvin T., then a minor, filed a motion to suppress evidence on the ground that a police officers stop of his vehicle violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The juvenile court granted the motion to suppress and dismissed the petitions.
The People appeal, contending that the stop of the minors car was justified because of his suspected truancy violation. Court agree with the People and shall reverse the order dismissing the petitions.
