GPT-5 mini · Answer

c. seized under the Fourth Amendment.

Explanation: The Supreme Court held in Brendlin v. California (551 U.S. 249 (2007)) that passengers are "seized" for Fourth Amendment purposes during a traffic stop, giving them standing to challenge the stop. They are not automatically searched (that requires separate justification) nor arrested under the Fifth Amendment.

During a traffic stop, any passengers in the vehicle have been __________
a. detained under the Fourteenth Amendment.
b. searched under the Fourth Amendment.
c. seized under the Fourth Amendment.
d. arrested under the Fifth Amendment.
