NAPO Tallies Another Victory for America's Finest
with Muehler v. Mena Decision!

Washington, D.C., March 22, 2005 - The Supreme Court has ruled favorably towards law officers today in their decision of Muehler v. Mena. NAPO, having filed an Amicus Curiae ("friend of the Court") brief in the case with the assistance of our good friends at the PORAC Legal Defense Fund, is extremely happy with the outcome. Under this important decision, law officers are now able to keep dangerous persons restrained while they can safely search a premises under a proper warrant.
