OPINION
GILDEA, Justice.
Appellant Tavon Tarrel Timberlake was charged as a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Minn.Stat. § 624.713, subd. 1(b) (2006). Timberlake moved to suppress the gun, arguing that the search was unlawful because police did not have a sufficient basis to stop the motor vehicle in which he was a passenger.
