In re Matthias A.
The court adjudged Appellant, a ward of the court, after Appellant admitted allegations charging him with possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with a vehicle. The juvenile court ordered Appellant to serve 30 days on house arrest and attend substance abuse counseling. On appeal, Appellant contends the court erred when it denied his motion to suppress. Defense has the burden of raising the issue (illegal search and seizure) and the Prosecution has the burden of proving that it (warrantless search and seizure) was reasonable. There was no evidence to justify the detention. Court reverses.
