1. ““ ‘ “When a motion to suppress evidence in a criminal case is based on the ground that the evidence was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, one issue is whether the movant has standing to assert the claim and to seek the remedy' of exclusion. The rights afforded protection by the Fourth Amendment are personal rights. To show that a party has standing to object to a search, the party must have a possessory inter-ést in the premises searched. The ‘ “capacity to claim the protection of the [Fourth] Amendment depends not upon a property right in the invaded place but upon whether the area was one in which there was a reasonable expectation of freedom from governmental intrusion.” ’ ‘A person who is aggrieved by an illegal search and seizure only through the introduction of damaging evidence secured by a search of a third person’s premises or property has not had any of his Fourth ~ Amendment rights infringed’ ” ’””
