Defendant was driving a rental car that was so overdue the tags were expired. It was rented by a cousin and the rental car company didn\u2019t know who he was. With the stop, they were called and they wanted the car impounded. It was towed to the tow yard. The officer forgot to leave the rental agreement with it and followed to the tow yard. When he opened the door, he saw for the first time a gun sticking out from under the seat.

In addition, once the rental company requested it be impounded, he lost any reasonable expectation of privacy that he would have conceivably had. United States v. Roberts, 2016 U.S. Dist.
