What about conspiracy where no express agreement made?

It definitely does. That's one of the five things I'm 100% confident on.

Isn't Ross an automobile exception case, not a SITLA case? I'm having trouble loading this. On my phone in bed.
It is, but isn't that what we were talking about? They pulled a car over at the beginning right?

BROAD question, do we see the results/wrong answers/right answers when results are released?

Automobile exception: they can open anything in your car including trunk if they have probable cause.

SITLA: can search passenger compartment if you are arrested but not under control; or, if they have reasonable suspicion there is evidence in the passenger compartment of the crime for which the arrestee was stopped for/arrested for.

I thought the rule for searching the passenger compartment was that, once arrestee is secured, they can't search unless they have reason to believe evidence off the crime of arrest is inside? You can't just put the guy in the squad car and then search the car incident to arrest.
There' no grab area implicated in a vehicle search, because it's not a safety concern, it's a concern that a vehicle is mobile and never in the same place so getting a warrant would be impracticable. Once the cops have cause to believe there's contraband inside, they have carte blanche to search it.

That said, no clue if I got that question right. This is why I MUCH prefer essays over MC...
I think we may be talking about two different fact patterns. Also, the automobile exception does apply to containers in the car, I'm pretty sure.

that doesnt implicate the automobile exception. the automobile exception applies when they have probable cause to believe the car has evidence of a crime inside. if they pull over a car bc the person was speeding or w/e, the auto exception does not apply bc what evidence of speeding could there be inside?

I think there are two different questions we are all talking about and confusing each other over. Damn the world that we can't be specific lol.

Just saw a girl in the elevator who has not taken the MBE yet. She said she is here at the hotel until Monday, she doesnt test on Sat or Sun( I'm assuming for religious reasons)

Yeah I think you're right lol. Trying to discuss what happened without going into specifics makes this largely a moot point. I feel like the one in question was running a heck of a lot of misdirection though, and had elements of passenger standing, vehicle exception, and SITLA in it. It's just so damn frustrating that we all clearly knew the law well and still may've gotten it wrong.

That person can read this thread and get mightily confused and can never figure out the right answer afterward.

It was the standing one that I had a hard time with. Not sure what the other one was but that's ok.

Not that much help. But some moron mentioned exact numbers earlier. Forgot who that was (me). Can mods just delete thread? I honestly thought everyone had taken the test so we were just worried about not posting total questions that they owned.

If you can read this thread and figure out anything that would be pertinent to the MBE we just took, you the smartest person in the world.

No way that should be allowed. Between these forums, other forums, reddit, Twitter, etc., anyone could piece together substantial parts
of what was on the MBE by now. I'm just going to delete any of my references to questions in the morning because that's absurd.

the original dude knew the 3rd party was being included so i think that was conspiracy
Conspiracy attaches the moment two or more agree to an illegal act. They don't have to know each other or have even met, just that their act involves an illegal purpose.

My brain is fried, and I only remember the one question apparently (unless I have two conflated in my mind lol). I will just say that I think that passengers have standing to challenge being seized in a vehicle, but not any searches of the vehicle regardless of the police's justification of the vlaidity of the search. Lord I hope that's right lol.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
