He was patted down and no weapon was found. A further search was unjustified, and it was suppressed. The patdown revealed no weapon or apparent contraband. On the state&#8217;s argument that the defendant was guilty of constructive possession, there was no evidence that the defendant could even see what was hidden in the car.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2dca.org\/opinions\/Opinion_Pages\/Opinion_Page_2009\/June\/June%2010,%202009\/2D08-928.pdf\">Wynn v. State<\/a>, 14 So. 3d 1094 (Fla. App. 2DCA 2009).*<\/p>\n<p>The driver of a car, with the apparent consent of the owner, has a sufficient privacy interest in the car to contest the stop and search of the car. The weapons search of the car was justified under <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/scripts\/getcase.pl?court=us&amp;vol=463&amp;invol=1032\">Long<\/a> because the car was stopped on suspicion of aggravated battery and an occupant being on federal supervised release for drugs. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kscourts.org\/Cases-and-Opinions\/opinions\/ctapp\/2009\/20090522\/98629.htm\">State v.

This gave RS, and the officer threatened to get a drug dog, and the occupants consented to a search. It was reasonable under the circumstances. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judiciary.state.nj.us\/opinions\/supreme\/A-44-07%20State%20v%20Jermel%20Moore.pdf\"> State v.
