Case of the Day

Case of the Day

Houston v. State

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.
