The trial court correctly denied the defendant's motion to suppress
where the defendant claimed the driver's consent to search was invalid
because the defendant had a greater right to privacy in the vehicle
than the driver's right to possession. The vehicle was registered to the defendant's father, yet the
defendant had been driving it for about four years. The defendant
admitted that the driver had his permission to operate the vehicle and
to exercise control and management over it.
