WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1930, DRY AGENTS TOLD TO WATCH RIGHTS Spates Warns Prohibition Officers Against Being “Overzealous.” Warning prohibition officers against “overzealous” efforts to enforce the law, Webster Spates, instructor in the new prohibition school today admonished the group of selected men here taking the course that the Constitution of the United States specifically protects citi zens against infringement of their rights by officers of the Federal Government. Lecturing in his course on the Constl- I tution and law, Mr. Spates declared; ! “It is unfortunate indeed that in the ■ past, so many officers of the govern ment flagrantly have violated and trampled upon some provision of the Constitution in their over-zealous efforts to enforce another. “If those who are charged with the duty of enforcing obedience to the law’s were less inclined to venture upon doubtful grounds, and were more care ful to bring all their acts clearly within the law, as it has been laid down by the courts,” he said, “not only would more guilty offenders be brought to justice, but it would be easier to establish a wholesome respect for all laws, which is so essential to the successful enforce ment of any.” Explaining the constitution and laws as they affect prohibition officers, Mr. Spates stressed the protection given the American citizen against "unreasonable searches and seizures.” Mr. Spates’ lecture was one of his series on the legal side of prohibition enforcement. The criminal investigation phases of the school are in charge of Harry M. Dengler, field supervisor.
