California Court of Appeal

Where a person is detained outside but near his residence, the police may conduct a "protective sweep" inside the residence when there is a reasonable suspicion that a person therein poses a danger to officer safety, as occurred here, and therefore, the order denying defendant's motion to suppress evidence is affirmed.
