Do the police have the right to search non-driving occupants of a vehicle during a DUI stop?

Neil Shouse (Defense Attorney) gives expert video advice on: Can a police officer visually inspect the inside of my car if I am stopped for a DUI?; Can police officers search my vehicle if I am stopped for a DUI?; Can police officers search my glove box and trunk if I am stopped for DUI? and more...

During a DUI stop, the police have the right to order passengers of the vehicle and to pat them down to see if they have any weapons or sharp objects or something that could jeopardize the safety of the officers. Other than that, the police do not have the right to do a full search of the passengers unless they have a very specific reason to believe that these passengers have possession of illegal items.
