Holding: When a police officer lacks information negating an inference that a person driving is the vehicle’s owner, an investigative traffic stop made after running the vehicle’s license plate and learning that the registered owner’s driver’s license has been revoked is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.

Check out the latest Relist Watch from @johnpelwood.
TEN new relists -- including 6 involving Pres.
