Opinion
GILBERT, J.
Here we hold that a police officer may stop the driver of an automobile if the officer has a reasonable suspicion that a passenger in the automobile has committed an offense.
Appellant William J., a minor, admitted the allegations in count I of a petition filed in juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, alleging he unlawfully possessed a billy, in violation of Penal Code section 12020, subdivision (a).
The trial court properly denied appellant’s motion to exclude evidence pursuant to section 1538.5. We therefore affirm the judgment.
