The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a decisive victory for law enforcement this week after Attorney General Gentner Drummond led a 28-state coalition supporting the ability of police officers to do their jobs. In the case of District of Columbia v. R.W., the Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that had thrown out a police stop because the D.C. Court of Appeals decided the officer lacked reasonable suspicion. 

“Common sense matters. A good officer reads a situation – the time of night, what he sees, what he knows – and makes a call. Courts shouldn’t be Monday-morning quarterbacking those decisions by nitpicking each detail in isolation. Oklahoma stood up for law enforcement on this one, and the Supreme Court backed us up.” – AG Drummond
