Motor Vehicles — implied consent — reasonable suspicion

Keith Friederick appeals an order of the circuit court imposing a twelve-month revocation of his operating privileges based on Friederick’s refusal to submit to a chemical test of his breath to determine his blood alcohol concentration pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 343.305. Friederick argues that the circuit court erred in concluding that Friederick’s refusal to submit to a chemical test of his breath was improper, because Friederick’s refusal occurred subsequent to a seizure that was not supported by reasonable suspicion.

For the reasons that follow I conclude that no seizure occurred, and therefore affirm the circuit court’s order. This opinion will not be published.
