Supreme Court of Michigan.

Decided October 17, 1983.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Louis J. Caruso, Solicitor General, David H. Sawyer, Prosecuting Attorney, and Carol S. Irons, Chief Appellate Attorney, for the people.

Victor I. Smedstad for the defendants.

BRICKLEY, J.

We are faced with a stop by the police of the defendants because of defective vehicle equipment followed by a detention at a time when the officers had no articulable basis for suspecting that the detainees had committed a crime.

We hold that a person may not be detained for roadside questioning beyond the scope of a stop, absent at least an articulable basis for suspecting other criminal activity. US Const, Am IV.
