United States First Circuit

Affirming the district court's denial of a motion to suppress drug evidence found during a traffic stop over claims the officer unreasonably extended the stop, violating Fourth Amendment rights, and challenging the ruling that drugs found during an unlawful patdown would not be excluded under the inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule in a case where a passenger in a stopped car held no ID, gave contradictory identifying information, and was confused for a similarly named person with outstanding warrants.
