Task: Stopping Vehicle when Owner Info Reveals

                                                             Revocation





          Kansas v. Glover, slip opinion 18-556 decided April 6, 2020

          • Where registration check pre-stop reveals that registered owner’s

               license is revoked, the officer may draw inference that registered

               owner is the driver unless officer can observe driver and driver does

               not fit DMV descriptive information i.e. owner is 21 year old, driver is

               clearly elderly.





          • Officer Can Make Brief Stop of Vehicle where Registered Owner’s

               License is Revoked to determine if driver is the registered owner

               whose license is revoked based on the reasonable suspicion from

               the DMV data.
