In re Bobby B

In In re Bobby B. (1985) 172 Cal.App.3d 377, a school administrator saw two students, Bobby and another boy, in a school restroom when they were supposed to be in class. (Id. at p. 380.) Neither boy was able to provide the administrator with a school pass before the search, the administrator was aware of marijuana activity within the restroom, and Bobby appeared to be nervous. (Ibid.) The administrator asked Bobby to empty his pockets, and after a search he found two cigarettes that appeared to contain marijuana and a bindle that was stipulated to contain a gram of cocaine. (Ibid.) Bobby moved to suppress evidence, which the trial court denied. The appellate court determined that the search was justified at its inception. (Bobby B., supra, at p. 382.)
