3. “[although a passenger who has no possessory interest in the vehicle has standing to challenge the propriety of a stop of the vehicle, Brendlin v. California, 551 U.S. 249, 251 , 168 L.Ed.2d 132, 136 (2007) (“When a police officer makes a traffic stop, the driver of the car is seized within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. We hold that a passenger is seized as well and so may challenge the constitutionality of the stop.”), or to challenge a “detention beyond the scope of the initial seizure,” State v. Jackson, _ N.C. App. _, _, 681 S.E.2d 492, 496 (2009), our Courts have never held that a passenger who has no possessory interest in the vehicle or contents has standing to challenge a search of the vehicle.”
