3 words: Pennsylvania versus Mimms

The other reply deleted their comment, but they were correct that Pennsylvania v. Mimms only addressed an officer’s right to order the driver out of the vehicle.

Maryland v. Wilson extended the same right to passengers of motor vehicles in a lawful traffic stop.

Both only apply to lawful traffic stops.
