State v. Smith
Washington Supreme Court
Decided September 6, 1984No. 50284-6PublishedCited by 34 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtRosellini, J.
Petitioner Donald Smith seeks reversal of a Court of Appeals decision affirming his juvenile court conviction for possession of "chako sticks", in violation of Seattle City Code 12A.14.070(a). Smith contends that the chako sticks were seized pursuant to an illegal search. Juvenile Court Commissioner Stone denied petitioner's *451motion to suppress, finding the search necessary for the protection of the officers. The Court of Appeals affirmed, finding the search and seizure to be valid under Illinois v. Gates, _U.S__, 76 L. Ed. 2d 527, 103 S. Ct. 2317 (1983). We reverse.
