P. v. Esquibel
Defendant Alexandro Esquibel was convicted by plea of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle in violation of Penal Code section 12031, subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2)(F)[1] and misdemeanor participation in a criminal street gang in violation of section 186.22, subdivision (a) after his motion to suppress evidence obtained following a traffic stop was denied. He was placed on three years formal probation and ordered to serve 180 days in county jail. On appeal, defendant challenges the denial of his motion to suppress, contending that the traffic stop that led to police discovery of a loaded gun in a stash under his cars floorboard violated his Fourth Amendment rights. Court affirm.
