Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a passenger in a vehicle who briefly leaves the vehicle during a police encounter has Fourth Amendment standing to challenge the stop and search of the vehicle and its fruits

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Whether a passenger in a vehicle , who briefly leaves the vehicle during a police encounter, but is contemporaneously detained with the vehicle and its other occupants, has standing under the Fourth Amendment to challenge the stop and search of the vehicle and the fruits thereof ? 2. Whether the totality of circumstances relied upon by law enforcement —including presence at a rural property, evasive driving, tinted windows, and unprovoked flight — constitute reasonable suspicion sufficient to justify the detention of a vehicle and its occupants under Terry v. Ohio and related precedents ? 3. Whether the prolonged detention of a vehicle and its occupants for over an hour and twenty minutes to await a canine unit, absent independent reasonable suspicion, violates the Fourth Amendment under Rodriguez v. United States ? 4. Whether a canine alert, based solely on the subjective interpretation of the handler and lacking objective indicia or independent certification, provides probable cause for a vehicle search under the Fourth Amendment ?
