Motion to Suppress - Vehicle Code Section 26708 - View Obstructions

This is Part X of the web series dedicated to Motions to Suppress in the State of California that was previously published only to my Google+ Following; which is now available through my blog on Google Blogger.

Part X of this series focuses on View Obstructions and which types of view obstructions are in fact a violation of law and which are not. 




An object hanging from the rearview mirror of a motor vehicle does not provide sufficient grounds for a detention unless the police officer has an objectively reasonable basis to believe that the object is obstructing or reducing the driver’s clear view through the windshield or side windows. See CVC § 26708(a)(2).
