Motor Vehicles – OWI – registration — license information

Daniel Folkman appeals a judgment of conviction for operating while intoxicated, second offense. Folkman argues the circuit court erred by denying his suppression motion because the officer ran a query on Folkman’s vehicle registration and driver’s license information for no apparent reason. We conclude Folkman has failed to establish he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the registration and license information and therefore has not triggered the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
