Supreme Court of Illinois

In a conviction for unlawful possession of a controlled substance arising from a routine traffic stop of an unlicensed driver with outstanding warrants, the appellate court's reversal of the conviction upon remand from the U.S. Supreme Court is reversed and the conviction affirmed where neither the officer's request that defendant provide identification nor the subsequent warrant check using the information obtained from the defendant violated his rights under the fourth amendment.
