D.N.J.: Merely holding a camera bag getting into a car doesn’t give standing when the car was later stopped without some ownership interest

Defendant was seen holding a blue camera bag as he entered a car that was later stopped. Holding the bag then doesn’t give standing because he later did not assert an ownership interest in it. United States v. Valle-Irizarry, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 100562 (D. N.J. July 22, 2014).*

The stop of defendant’s vehicle near the border was based on reasonable suspicion he was involved in drug smuggling, and there was reasonable suspicion on the totality. United States v. Arjon, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 14167 (10th Cir. July 25, 2014).*

A stop with guns drawn was justified by objectively reasonable evidence that defendant was armed. United States v. Diaz-Perez, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 101961 (E.D. Cal. July 24, 2014).*
