McColloch v. Maryland
Maryland v. Wilson, 519 US 408 (1997)No. 95-1268.Argued December 11, 1996Decided February 19, 1997After stopping a speeding car in which respondent Wilson was a passenger, a Maryland state trooper ordered Wilson out of the car upon noticing his apparent nervousness. When Wilson exited, a quantity of cocaine fell to the ground. He was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. The Baltimore County Circuit Court granted his motion to suppress the evidence, deciding that the trooper's ordering him out of the car constituted an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment. The Maryland Court of Special Appeals affirmed, holding that the rule of Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 , that an officer may as a matter of course order the driver of a lawfully stopped car to exit his vehicle, does not apply to passengers.
