    David Riley, a member of a San Diego gang, was pulled over while driving for a suspended license. Police found weapons in his car and searched his phone without a warrant, finding evidence tying him to a previous drive-by shooting. Riley argued the phone evidence should be suppressed due to the lack of a warrant. The court ruled the warrantless search was justified based on an earlier case and the evidence was allowed, leading to Riley's conviction on charges including assault with a firearm and attempted murder and a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.

    Alex Stavrou Riley V. CA Pd.

     David Leon Riley, part of a San Diego gang, had done a drive by on a rival gang. Riley
    was not caught then, but when driving on a later day got pulled over and evidence from
    the drive by was found.

     Police searched his car due to a suspended drivers license. They found weapons, arrested
    Riley due to the weapons, and searched his phone. They ended up tying Riley to the
    Drive by with the ballistics.

     In Court, Riley had submitted a motion to suppress the phone evidence due to the lack of
    a warrant that wasn’t there when the phone was searched. This was the main question
    raised in court.

     Due to the case “The People vs. Diaz”, the phone search was justified in the court and the
    evidence stayed.

     Riley was subsequently charged with firing at an occupied vehicle, assault with a
    semiautomatic firearm, and attempted murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.
