Highlight

During a stop of a vehicle, a law enforcement officer seizes every person in the vehicle, and therefore a passenger in the vehicle may challenge the legality of the stop.
Identification testimony must be suppressed if, under the totality of the circumstances, the identification procedure was unnecessarily suggestive and the identification is unreliable.
A single-person, showup identification is inherently suggestive, but is not necessarily unduly suggestive and may serve legitimate law enforcement purposes in some cases.
If a party fails to comply with N.D.R.Crim.P. 16, a discovery rule, the district court has discretion in applying a remedy.
