Webinar Overview
Are passengers required to stay inside the vehicle during the duration of a traffic stop? What if the passenger is the reason for the motor vehicle stop? Dennis goes over what you need to know when it comes to the passengers in a motor vehicle, during a motor vehicle stop. He also mentions a few states that vary. Remember - just because someone is lawfully detained, does not mean that same person is lawfully required to disclose their identity to a police officer, unless there is reasonable suspicion that they have committed some kind of offense. 

Brendlin v. California is key here. Listen to the full webinar to understand why.
