Then the officer found out defendant was in a rental car that wasn\u2019t his or he wasn\u2019t a driver of, so the district court held  had no standing in the car. The court of appeals gets to the merits. The offense was minor, but the stop was not constitutionally unreasonable. Reasonable suspicion developed from aliases and demeanor. The stop was reasonable in length and the officer was diligent on the totality. <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ca3.uscourts.gov\/opinarch\/161509np.pdf\">United States v.
