Search and seizure victory
Good news on the Fourth Amendment front:
Unanimous, even. Who would've guessed?
The Supreme Court on Monday extended to automobile passengers the same right that drivers have: the right to challenge the validity of a decision by the police to stop the car.
The unanimous ruling was based on the justices’ “intuitive conclusion,” in the words of the opinion’s author, Justice David H. Souter, that passengers in a car stopped by the police do not feel free to get out and walk away.
Unanimous, even. Who would've guessed?
