Case problem with sample answer-search and seizure. Three police officers, including Maria Trevizo, pulled over a car with suspended registration. One of the occupants, Lemon Johnson, wore clothing consistent with membership in the Crips gang. Trevizo searched him "for offi­cer safety" and found a gun. Johnson was charged with illegal possession of a weapon. What standard should apply to an offi­cer's search of a passenger during a traffic stop Should a war­rant be required Could a search proceed solely on the basis of probable cause Would a reasonable suspicion short of proba­ble cause be enough Discuss.
