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.
