Under current California law, is it legal for a police officer to detain someone merely on the basis that he believes he sees a firearm printing in your pocket or other part of your person? And second, if you get stopped and frisked but are carrying the firearm in a wallet holster is it still admissible in court? Because under the law an officer may only retrieve an item from your pocket if he has reasonable belief that what he is feeing as the outline is a weapon and in this case he would feel the holster resembling a wallet, but could he still take it and use it in court? Or will it be tossed out by a judge?

Yes, it would be a good search if he could explain how his training and experience lead him to believe that what he was feeling was a weapon
...and it could be a separate charge for carrying a wallet gun

And since the OP has a good answer from a California LEO, this can be closed.
