STATE of Wisconsin, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. Daniel R. FOLKMAN, Defendant–Appellant.
Id. at 663. In Lord, our supreme court summarily reversed a court of appeals' opinion that held an officer may stop a vehicle to verify the registration of the vehicle if the vehicle has a temporary license plate. Lord, 297 Wis.2d 592, ¶¶ 1–2, 723 N.W.2d 425. The Lord court held that Prouse clearly prohibited the act of stopping a vehicle and detaining a driver without probable cause or reasonable suspicion simply to check the registration and license information. Lord, 297 Wis.2d 592, ¶ 7, 723 N.W.2d 425.
