Wisconsin Justices Toss Drug Charge Based on Driver's License Retention – Courthouse News Service

The case centered on whether a woman arrested for drug possession was unlawfully seized without probable cause when a police officer took her driver’s license to his squad car for a background check and didn’t give it back while questioning her.
MADISON, Wis. (CN) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday handed down a ruling in a case over whether an unconstitutional seizure has occurred when police take a driver’s ID to their squad car without reasonable suspicion of a crime.
According to Friday’s decision, Sheboygan police stopped Heather VanBeek on the night of Nov. 12, 2017, based on an anonymous call saying two people were suspiciously sitting in a truck parked on the street for over an hour, during which time a third person came to the car with a backpack and left without it.
