Task: Passengers’ Rights






          Brendlin v. California,   551 U.S. 249  (2007).





               A passenger in a vehicle is seized when a vehicle is stopped and

               therefore has a right to privacy which allows the passenger to

               challenge the stop in cases where evidence is found on the

               passenger.





               Note: The case also upholds the authority of officers to control the

               movements of a passenger during the vehicle stop.
