Hoping for a Good Result in Brendlin
In People v. Brendlin, now pending before the United States Supreme Court, at issue is whether automobile passengers have standing to contest an illegal automobile stop. I represented Mr. Brendlin at the trial level before the Sutter County Superior Court. Attorney Beth Campbell from the Central California Appellate Project argued the case before the Supreme Court. The oral argument transcript can be viewed online at the Supreme Court website, www.supremecourtus.gov. The questioning was very interesting. Most people I have talked to agree that no passenger would ever feel free to walk away from a car after a law enforcement stop.
