01-3376 State v. Storlie

By: dmc-admin//June 3, 2002//

Listen to this article

“It is undisputed that the stop sticks were deployed in the normal course of law enforcement, resulting in their destruction. Under the facts presented, we are satisfied that the police department is not a victim within the meaning of Wis. Stat. sec. 973.20, entitled to restitution for destruction of the stop sticks.

Consequently, the restitution ordered must be reversed. On remand, the court is directed to vacate the portion of the judgment and postconviction order that requires restitution of $123.”

Judgment and order reversed and cause remanded with directions.
