People v. Fraijo

In People v. Fraijo (1977) 78 Cal.App.3d 977, the defendant ran a red light and then attempted to avoid apprehension by flight at high speeds. Once stopped, defendant's nervous demeanor led the officers to suspect that he was under the influence of drugs and that contraband was present in the vehicle. However, a search of the passenger compartment revealed nothing. As a result of the foregoing circumstances and the fruitless search of the passenger compartment, ". . . there ripened a reasonable and strong suspicion that whatever Fraijo was trying to hide was in the trunk of the car." ( Id., at p. 982.)
