United States First Circuit

Defendants' convictions for conspiracy to possess fifteen or more counterfeit access devices and possession of fifteen or more counterfeit access devices are affirmed, where: 1) the district court correctly held that the stop of the defendants' vehicle did not violate the Fourth Amendment; 2) the warrant issued for the search of the car was not tainted by an illegal stop; 3) defendants have failed to establish that they had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the vehicle searched after the stop; 4) the admission of statements obtained through the officers' questioning of the defendants at the traffic stop did not violate the Fifth Amendment; 5) the district court properly refused to suppress evidence gained as a result of the questioning; and 6) the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a mid-guidelines-range sentence on defendant Campbell.
