N.D.Fla.: Drug officers with PC can use patrol officers to make a stop on a traffic offense

Drug officers had probable cause but used patrol officers to make a stop based on a traffic offense, which there also was. The initial probable cause controls here. United States v. Green, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126663 (N.D. Fla. July 20, 2020).

Defendant didn’t have standing in a truck he had no possessory interest in that he was just a passenger in. Brendlin gives standing to contest a stop but it doesn’t alter the Rakas analysis for standing to contest a search. United States v. Ramos, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126955 (N.D. Ga. June 29, 2020),* adopted, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126829 (N.D. Ga. July 20, 2020).*
