During a traffic stop for tinted windows, our client was a passenger when the driver consented to a vehicle search.

We dug into the basis for the stop, the scope of the consent as it applied to a passenger, and how the statement was obtained. We outlined the suppression issues and the weak nexus tying possession to our client beyond the admission. After sustained pressure in negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.
