State vs Cook 530 NW 2d 728 Iowa 1995 
State vs Meyer 543 NW 2d 876 Iowa 1996

I obtained the above information from Captain Mahlin, who is in charge  
of the Community Policing Division of the Council Bluffs Police Dept.   
If you need further information, or would like to speak with Capt.  
Mahlin directly, let me know and I will forward the necessary infor- 
mation via net mail.  Also, this is under review by the U.S. or State 
(I can't remember which one) Supreme Court and, too, Iowa expects to  
lose.  BTW, did you doubt my word?
