Whether the seizure of the jeans was justified under former Vaud criminal procedure law.
Yes. There were sufficient indications that the jeans were the product of a theft, so the seizure was justified.
Under Art. 223 CPP-VD, seizure is permissible for objects that may have served in or resulted from an offence or may help establish the truth. The court found sufficient suspicion because G.________ admitted he suspected the jeans came from a theft and the item was still tagged when found among his belongings.
