Zimmerman

Defendant and appellant James William Zimmerman appeals from the order modifying his probation. Appellant contends on appeal that evidence which has been illegally seized may not be used to modify probation.

As a result of a conviction in the Superior Court of Contra Costa County on July 14, 1976, for robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, appellant was placed on three years probation. One condition of probation was that appellant obey all laws. On March 25, 1978, appellant was stopped and detained by Santa Clara County sheriff’s officers. In the course of a search of appellant a pistol and three cubes of LSD were found on his person. Appellant was arrested and a felony complaint was filed in the Palo Alto/Mountain View Judicial District of Santa Clara County charging appellant with violations of Penal Code section 12025 (carrying a concealed firearm), Health and Safety Code section 11377 (possession of LSD) and Penal Code section 12031 (carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, misdemeanor).
