Can passenger challenge PC for traffic stop?
Here's an interesting case that isn't necessarily Kansas law, but likely will be soon. It's a Fourth Circuit case. The car's stop for DUI was successfully challenged, so the pat down of the passenger that revealed drugs was also challenged, even though some case law out there says the passenger lacks standing. Not anymore. Car stop illegal, passenger search illegal. Good call.
