Search warrant for Blacks served on Whites - is OK

-Individual Rights-
Police officers who, when executing search warrant that
identified four African Americans as residents of premises to be searched
and as suspected participants in criminal activity, were not required to
cease search upon discovering that premises were occupied by plaintiffs, who
were Caucasian. Officers acted reasonably in securing premises based on
possibility that plaintiffs were in partnership with the named suspects, who might have been in another part of the house and may have been armed. Upon discovering plaintiffs unclothed and in bed, officers did not act unreasonably in momentarily detaining them to make certain they were
unarmed before allowing them to cover themselves.
