1. “[i]n order to challenge a search or seizure on fourth amendment grounds, a defendant must show that he has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the place searched. See Rakas v. Illinois , 439 U.S. 128 , 99 S.Ct. 421 , 58 L.Ed.2d 387 (1978). A passenger in a motor vehicle, who fails to demonstrate a possessory interest in the car itself or in any of the seized evidence, has no reasonable expectation of privacy in the area of the vehicle searched, and thus is precluded from contesting the validity of the search. . . . State v. Burns , 23 Conn. App. 602 , 611-12 , 583 A.2d 1296 (1990).”
