The opinion of the court was delivered by NUSS, J.:

This case concerns the suppression of drugs discovered during a properly commenced traffic stop of a rented van by Deputy Henry Cocking. The van was being driven by Ronald O'Kelly, the 16-year-old son of defendant Ronnie Morlock, the van's lessee and sole passenger. The district court denied Morlock's motion to suppress. A majority panel of the Court of Appeals reversed, and Judge Leben dissented.
