STATE of Wisconsin, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. Dennis V. MARKOV, Defendant–Appellant.
Id., ¶ 29. In reviewing the denial of a motion to suppress, we will uphold the trial court's findings of fact unless they are against the great weight and clear preponderance of the evidence. State v. Waldner, 206 Wis.2d 51, 54, 556 N.W.2d 681 (1996). Whether those facts satisfy a given constitutional requirement is a question of law we review de novo. Id. Id., ¶ 42 (footnote and citation omitted). “The stronger the public need and the more minimal the intrusion upon an individual's liberty, the more likely the police conduct will be held to be reasonable.” Id., ¶ 41 (citation omitted).
