Graham v. State, 119 MdApp 444, 705 A.2d 82 (1998) Passenger is “seized” for purposes of the 4 th Amendment when he is ordered to _________ in a car stopped for speeding while officer checks the driver’s license and registration. Continued detention of passenger after purpose of stop is accomplished is unreasonable,

unless there is reasonable, articulable suspicion to justify continuing the __________. (driver’s license proved invalid, driver was arrested, yet passenger ordered to remain in the car after driver’s arrest to wait 25 minute for a K-9 unit).

Pryor v. State, 122 Md.App. 671 (1997), cert. denied 352 Md. 312, 721 A.2d 990 (1998) The 4 th Amendment permits the ____________ search of an automobile when there is probable cause to believe that the automobile contains contraband or evidence of criminal activity.. Note: there is no separate “exigency requirement” for the

Ferris v. State, 355 Md. 356, 735 A.2d 491 (1999) The officer’s purpose in an ordinary traffic stop is to _________ the laws of the roadway, and ordinarily to investigate the manner of driving with the intent to issue a citation or warning. Once the initial purpose of that stop has been fulfilled, the continued detention of the car and

the occupants amounts to a second detention. Once the underlying basis for the initial traffic stop has concluded, a police-driver encounter which implicates the 4 th Amendment is constitutionally permissible only if (1) the driver ___________ to the continuing intrusion; or (2) the officer has, at a minimum, a reasonable, articulable __________ that criminal activity is

afoot. Ferris v. State, 355 Md. 356, 735 A.2d 491 (1999). For example: Officer stopped driver stopped for suspected violations of motor vehicle laws, and continued to briefly detain him after learning that the license and registration were in order. Court found that officer harbored no more than a “______” that the driver possessed drugs

Therefore, drugs subsequently found in the vehicle were suppressed and that the continued detention was not independently supported by reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Therefore, drugs subsequently found in the vehicle were suppressed. Munafo v. State, 105 Md.App. 662, 660 A.2d 1068 (1995).

Pot was suppressed Trooper issued driver a traffic citation, returned driver’s license and registration documents, and then asked driver if he would mind exiting his vehicle and stepping to the rear to answer a few questions. After several questions, driver admitted to smoking and possessing pot. Pot was suppressed because court found

had insufficient reason to justify continuing the encounter after issuing citation trooper had insufficient reason to justify continuing the encounter after issuing citation. Ferris v. State, 355 Md. 356, 735 A.2d 491 (1999).

C. Other cases 6. New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454 (1981) Allowed that police may conduct a full search of a vehicle’s passenger compartment incidental to a __________ ______ of an occupant. A full search would not, however, be permitted in those situations where the officer merely issued a citation.
