IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Shasta) ----
In re K.S., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court C090869 Law.
THE PEOPLE, (Super. Ct. No. SCRDJDSQ193146601) Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
K.S.,
Defendant and Appellant.
After the juvenile court adjudged K.S. a ward of the court, it placed her on probation with certain conditions, including an electronics search condition that K.S. challenges on appeal as both unreasonable under state law and unconstitutionally overbroad. We agree with K.S. that, under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 and

In re Ricardo P. (2019) 7 Cal.5th 1113 (Ricardo P.), the electronics search condition is unreasonable. Accordingly, we will strike that condition and otherwise affirm. BACKGROUND In July 2019, a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 was filed in Shasta County alleging that K.S. committed arson of an inhabited structure in violation of Penal Code section 451, subdivision (b).1 Ultimately, in October 2019, K.S. admitted she committed arson of a structure (§ 451, subd.

The next day, the counselor heard a smoke detector alarm in a hallway near a bathroom, and later saw the bathroom curtain on fire. During the tumult, K.S. left the group home without permission. A little more than a month later, law enforcement contacted K.S. at her mother’s home, where K.S. admitted that she started the fire to escape from the group home because “if she had stayed there any longer she would have killed herself because nobody would listen to her.” K.S. told an officer that burns observed on her left arm were self-inflicted. The November 2019 dispositional report explained that K.S. shared that she had been cutting herself since she was in sixth grade and she stated she planned to kill herself upon release. The report explained K.S.’s history of suicidal gestures, suicidal and homicidal ideation and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations.
