  • clarifying that, despite this Court’s consistent holding that ‘reasonable grounds’ equates to the Fourth Amendment quantum of suspicion in criminal law[,]” the statute should not be treated or viewed as “quasi-criminal.”
  • “A reviewing court should defer to the agency’s fact-finding and drawing of inferences if they are supported by the record.” (Citation omitted)
  • “Our role is not to review the circuit court’s judgment, but rather to review the decision of the ALJ.”
  • “[A] court ordinarily may not pass upon issues presented to it for the first time on judicial review and that are not encompassed in the final decision of the administrative agency.”
  • “The analysis requires courts to give appropriate deference to the training and experience of the law enforcement officer and to the officer’s ability to make reasonable inferences from his or her observations, based on that training and experience.”
