1. ““In Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 148-49 , 99 S.Ct. 421, 432-33 , 58 L.Ed.2d 387 (1978), the United States Supreme Court held that the petitioners did not have standing to challenge the search of a vehicle in which the petitioners were passengers and the subsequent seizure of a box of rifle shells from in the glove compartment and a sawed-off rifle from under the front passenger seat. The Court stated that the petitioners ‘made no showing that they had any legitimate expectation of privacy in the glove compartment or area under the seat of the car in which they were merely passengers,’ and that ‘[l]ike the trunk of an automobile, these are areas in which a passenger qua passenger simply would not normally have a legitimate expectation of privacy.’ Id.””
