Overview: Appellant's conviction of criminal contempt under D.C.

Overview: A trial court used the proper probable cause standard to decide appellee's, a juvenile's, motion to suppress his arrest, and, as he was a passenger in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle containing fireworks in its rear compartment, he did not constructively possess the fireworks, so there was no Fourth Amendment probable cause to arrest him.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS, May 18, 2006, Decided
