United States v. Dwayne Berman Cooper
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided April 1, 1998No. 96-3240PublishedCited by 56 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
HATCHETT, Chief Judge:
The primary issue in this case is whether appellant-driver legitimately expected Fourth Amendment-level privacy in an overdue rental ear that the rental company had not repossessed at the time of law enforcement’s warrantless search. We (1) affirm the district court’s conclusion that a law enforcement officer permissibly stopped appellant; (2) resolve the issue of first impression in appellant’s favor, reversing the district court’s conclusion that he lacked standing to challenge the search; and (3) remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
