DECISION AND ORDER
This case raises several questions involving the Fourth Amendment, including the constitutional status of “all persons” search warrants.
I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY AND STANDARD OF REVIEW
Acting pursuant to a search warrant authorizing the search of all persons on the premises of the Guadalajara Tavern, law enforcement officers searched defendant Manuel Guadarrama, also known as Juan Sotelo, on June 28, 2000, and found cocaine and other incriminating evidence in his pocket. Guadarrama and his co-defendant, Rey Garcia, are each charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 500 grams but less than 5 kilograms of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Guadarrama filed a motion to suppress the evidence found on his person, and Garcia has requested permission to adopt the motion. U.S. Magistrate Judge Aaron E. Goodstein conducted an evidentiary hearing on August 15, 2000.
Judge Goodstein recommended that I find the search warrant unconstitutional, but nonetheless recommended that I find the evidence admissible, either as supported by independent probable cause, or under the “good faith” exception of
United States v. Leon,
*1205 II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. Search Warrants and Supporting Affidavit
After a five-month investigation, the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (“HIDTA”) Task Force sought two drug search warrants on June 27, 2000, the first for the Tavern — located on the south side of Milwaukee — and the second for the upstairs residence over the Tavern. The supporting affidavit described three controlled buys of cocaine made at the Tavern by a confidential informant. (Gov’t Ex. 1, Evid. Hr’g [hereinafter “Aff.”] at 1.) At the first controlled buy, in late January 2000, the informant reported that he bought cocaine from a Hispanic male patron who told him that he could come back to buy more cocaine. At the second controlled buy, six weeks before officers sought the search warrants, the informant sought to buy cocaine from the bartender, and the bartender spoke with a patron, who told the informant that he “would be right down” with the cocaine. The patron then left the Tavern through a side door and returned in about two minutes with cocaine. At the third controlled buy, three days before officers sought the search warrants, the informant sought to buy cocaine from someone in the Tavern named Jaime Molina-Carrillo; Molina-Carrillo spoke with a Hispanic male associate, who exited the side door and returned within five minutes with cocaine. (According to vehicle registration records, Molina-Carrillo lived in the upstairs residence.) Milwaukee Police Department Detective Carlos Negron, assigned to the HIDTA Task Force, was conducting surveillance outside the Tavern during this third controlled buy, and saw the associate leave the Tavern and enter the upper flat. Negron stated in his affidavit that the person he saw matched the informant’s description of the Hispanic male associate, and later testified that he recognized this associate as defendant Garcia. (Evid. Hr’g Tr. [R. 34] [hereinafter “Tr.”] at 46.)
Both the Tavern and Residence warrants are on forms with notations at the bottom indicating that they were printed from a computer file. The relevant form language is as follows:
[Affiant,] Showing probable cause that on_, 1999, in the County of Milwaukee, there is now located and concealed in and upon certain premises, located within the_of_in said County, occupied by_, and more particularly described as follows: DESCRIBE PREMISES: _ search to include all storage areas accessible to_and all persons present on premises, certain goods, chattels and property, to-wit: DESCRIBE OBJECTS OF SEARCH:
Now, THEREFORE, in the name of the State of Wisconsin, you are commanded forthwith to search the said premises and/or the said person(s) for said things, and take possession thereof, if found.
(Gov’t Ex. 1, Evid. Hr’g) (emphasis added). The language directing officials to search “all persons present on premises” is thus part of the HIDTA Task Force standard cocaine search warrant form. 1
B. Execution of the Search Warrants
Police executed the two warrants early the next afternoon, Wednesday, June 28, *1206 2000, at about 12:45 p.m. Six or eight West Allis Police Department officers executed the Tavern warrant, while six or eight Milwaukee Police officers simultaneously executed the Residence warrant.
When West AJlis police entered, they seized, handcuffed, put face-down on the floor with their hands behind them, patted down, and searched the pockets of all of the eight or nine Tavern patrons present. Firearms were trained on each patron throughout this process, which lasted some ten to fifteen minutes. (Tr. at 94-95.)
West Allis officers followed what they described as “basic search warrant protocol” and “standard operating procedure,” (Tr. at 56, 71), which involved handcuffing all persons found at the place to be searched and patting them down for weapons. One officer searched Guadarrama and found and removed a set of keys fi*om his pocket; the keys were then apparently returned to Guadarrama. After the premises were secured and officers considered the Tavern safe — a period of about five minutes from the beginning of the execution of the search warrant — West Allis Detective Sergeant Charles Unger entered the Tavern. (Id. at 53, 54, 56.) All patrons were kept lying on their faces, handcuffed, and with weapons pointed at them. (Id. at 94-95.)
After another five minutes, Detective Negron directed Detective Unger to arrest Guadarrama and Garcia. Detective Unger then re-searched Guadarrama, and found not only the keys but also eight small packets, or bindles, of cocaine in Guadarra-ma’s right front pocket. Detective Unger later tried the keys in the lock of the door to the upstairs residence, and found that one key fit.
Detective Negron based his decision to have Guadarrama and Garcia arrested upon two factors. First, he had seen both Guadarrama and Garcia — in the span of a half hour earlier that same day — each twice exit the Tavern, go to the upstairs residence, use a key to enter, and then return to the Tavern within minutes. (Id. at 24-25.) Second, during their search of the upstairs residence, officers found cocaine and other drug paraphernalia. (Id. at 29).
III. ANALYSIS
Defendant Guadarrama seeks to suppress the cocaine and the incriminating key found in his pocket as the product of unconstitutional searches. The government has proffered a variety of theories to support its position that the search and seizure were legal. Because this is a federal prosecution, I apply federal standards regardless of how a state court might rule, even though the search was made by state officers executing a state search warrant.
Elkins v. United States,
A. “All Persons Present” Search Warrant
The government first contends that its search of Guadarrama was justified because the Tavern search warrant required officers to search “all persons present on premises.” The magistrate judge recommended that I find this portion of the warrant invalid. Although I review this portion of the recommendation only for clear error (because the government did not file an objection), I address the issue in detail because of its importance.
The Fourth Amendment provides that “no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” U.S. Const, amend. IV. Neither the Supreme Court nor the Seventh Circuit has addressed the constitutionality of “all persons” warrants under the Fourth Amendment. 2
*1207 1. Treatment of “All Persons” Warrants in Other Jurisdictions
The question of such warrants’ constitutionality has been raised in some forty-four jurisdictions. Of these, only Wisconsin authorizes an “all persons” warrant to be issued on less than probable cause as to a defendant.
a. Facially Unconstitutional
Among the • other forty-three jurisdictions, the minority view, held or suggested by eight jurisdictions, is that “all persons” warrants are facially unconstitutional because of their resemblance to general warrants. The Fourth Amendment grew out of colonists’ experiences with the use of general warrants b^ English authorities and the related writ of assistance by colonial authorities.
Stanford v. Texas,
b. De Simone: Requiring Probable Cause That All Persons Likely to Be Present Are Involved in Criminal Activity
Thirty jurisdictions adhere to the majority view, expressed in the leading case,
State v. De Simone,
On principle, the sufficiency of a warrant to search persons identified only by their presence at a specified place *1208 should depend upon the facts. A showing that lottery slips are sold in a department store or an industrial plant obviously would not justify a warrant to search every person on the premises, for there would be no probable cause to believe that everyone there was participating in the illegal operation. On the other hand, a showing that a dice game is operated in a manhole or in a barn should suffice, for the reason that the place is so limited and the illegal operation so overt that it is likely that everyone present is a party to the offense. Such a setting furnishes not only probable cause but also a designation of the persons to be searched which functionally is as precise as a dimensional portrait of them.
.... So long as there is good reason to suspect or believe that anyone present at the anticipated scene will probably be a participant, presence becomes the descriptive fact satisfying the aim of the Fourth Amendment. The evil of the general warrant is thereby negated.
Id.
at 850,
[T]he question is whether there is sufficient particularity in the probable cause sense, that is, whether the information supplied the magistrate supports the conclusion that it is probable anyone in the described place when the warrant is executed is involved in the criminal activity in such a way as to have evidence thereof on his person.
2 LaFave,
Search and Seizure
§ 4.5(e) at 546, 547. In other words, the risk that an innocent person may be swept up in a dragnet and searched must be carefully weighed.
People v. Nieves,
All three federal courts to address “all persons” warrants, including two courts of appeals, have used this standard, 5 and a fourth federal court (also a court of appeals) has implicitly adopted it. 6 In addition, twenty-three states (including New Jersey and the District of Columbia) use De Simone’s standard, 7 and another three have implicitly adopted it. 8
*1209 c. Issue Unresolved
Two jurisdictions have held that “all persons” warrants must be based upon probable cause, but without specifying probable cause as to what. 9 Three other jurisdictions, including two federal courts of appeals, have noted the issue but have not resolved it. 10
d. Hayes: Requiring Probable Cause Only That Some Person Likely to Be Present Is Involved in Criminal Activity
The law in Wisconsin follows a position which the Pennsylvania Superior Court held for several years but abandoned two years before Wisconsin adopted it. In
Commomvealth v. Heidelberg,
[N]o rule of constitutional construction requires that we ignore the realities of modern drug distribution systems in determining the reasonableness of the warrant issued in this case. Though it is certainly possible, even probable, that innocent third parties who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time may be subjected to searches under such warrants, the nexus between the person to be searched and the nature and seriousness of the criminal conduct suspected on probable cause, nonetheless, renders the probability of their culpable participation in the crime suspected sufficient to warrant a search of their person to prevent the destruction or *1210 concealment of evidence of the crime suspected.
Commonwealth v. Graciani,
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has not addressed “all persons” warrants, but in 1995 the Wisconsin Court of Appeals did, in
State v. Hayes,
2. Constitutional Analysis of “All Persons” Warrants
a. What Standard to Apply
I now assess the constitutionality of the “all persons” clause of the warrant in this case. I first determine what standard to apply.
The Constitution requires individualized reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing even for stop and frisk and other limited law enforcement searches.
Terry v. Ohio,
The Supreme Court holds that an individual's mere propinquity to others whom there is probable cause to search does not supply probable cause to search the individual’s person. Thus, a search warrant for a residence does not authorize police to search its occupants.
United States v. Di Re,
In
Ybarra v. Illinois,
It is true that the police possessed a warrant based on probable cause to search the tavern in which Ybarra happened to be at the time the warrant was executed. But, a person’s mere propinquity to others independently suspected of criminal activity does not, without more, give rise to probable cause to search that person. Where the standard is probable cause, a search or seizure of a person must be supported by probable cause particularized with respect to that person. This requirement cannot be undercut or avoided by simply pointing to the fact that coincidentally there exists probable cause to search or seize another or to search the premises where the person may happen to be. The Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments protect the “legitimate expectations of privacy” of persons, not places.
Id.
at 91,
Although
Ybarra
did not address “all persons” search warrants,
id.
at 92 n. 4,
As discussed in the next section, the warrant here cannot withstand scrutiny under De Simone’s standard. I therefore need not assess whether “all persons” warrants are facially unconstitutional general warrants. The only question is thus whether to accept the analysis of Graciani and Hayes.
*1212
I find
Hayes
unpersuasive and indeed, deeply flawed.
13
Hayes
allows warrants to search individuals’ persons without even reasonable suspicion as to each person to be searched, much less probable cause as to each person. The decision appears driven by the nature and seriousness of suspected drug activity,
Hayes,
b. Application of De Simone Standard
I now apply this standard.
De Simone
itself held that an “all persons” warrant for a department store or an industrial plant would “obviously” not be justified.
De Simone,
At least six published decisions address precisely the issue here, of “all persons” search warrants executed on public taverns; all six held that the warrants were unconstitutional.
15
In
State v. Robinson,
*1213
Completely innocent unsuspecting persons could easily enter to make a legitimate purchase of legal merchandise. Even if the reputation of The Bar is such that no local people would enter without the intention to purchase or sell controlled substances, it is still quite possible someone from out of town or new to the area could stop in to ask directions, use a pay phone, or make a legal purchase. Certainly there could be no probable cause to search such a person on the basis of their presence alone.
Id. See also State v. Riggins,
As noted above, even
Hayes
upheld its “all persons” warrant in part because the place to be searched was “a private residence and not a public place.”
Hayes,
I look to whether the facts before the magistrate (or here, court commissioner) were sufficient to allow her to draw the inferences and form the conclusions necessary to a determination of probable cause.
Giordenello v. United States,
B. Leon Good-Faith Exception
The government’s second theory is that even if the search warrant was the cocaine and the incriminating key seized from Guadarrama should be admitted under the good-faith exception enunciated in
Leon,
Judge Goodstein recommended that I deny the motion to suppress based (in the alternative) upon Leon. Judge Goodstein noted that in the supporting affidavit, Detective Negron provided reasons for and specifically requested an “all persons” warrant, and that he was therefore entitled to rely upon it once issued.
Guadarrama’s first objection is that Detective Unger testified that officers seized him based upon their “basic search warrant protocol,” which included handcuffing and patting down all persons present for weapons. (Tr. at 56.) 18 On that basis, Guadarrama contends, officers did not rely upon the warrant at all, and thus Leon is inapplicable. However, Detective Unger also testified that, “The search warrant allowed for the search of every person in the tavern. So ... we would basically take custody of them on a temporary basis.” (Id. at 72.) I find no basis to find that officers did not act in reliance on the warrant.
Guadarrama’s second objection is that the Wisconsin courts have not adopted Leon’s good faith exception,
State v. Ward,
C. Legality of Guadarrama’s Detention Under the Tavern Warrant
When police executed the search warrants for the Tavern and the upstairs residence, they detained the Tavern’s patrons for at least fifteen minutes. During this detention, officers searching the upstairs residence found cocaine and other contraband. It was only after the discovery of this evidence that Guadarrama was formally arrested; and the cocaine in his pocket was found (and the key that opened the door to the upstairs residence was seized) only in a search pursuant to that formal arrest.
As a general rule, evidence is admissible if seized during a search incident to a lawful arrest.
Chimel v. California,
The Seventh Circuit applied
Wong Sun
in
United States v. Ienco,
1. Application of Leon
The government here contends that officers acted in good faith rebanee upon the search warrant, imphcitly referring to
Leon.
To be sure, the search warrant purported to authorize searching all persons, and authorization even for a limited search automatically carries with it authorization to stop and detain a person.
Terry,
*1216 2. Summers ’ Application to Public Premises
The government argues that the detention was justified under
Michigan v. Summers,
The
Summers
Court found that the detention before it was a comparatively limited intrusion. The Court identified three legitimate law enforcement interests served by the detention: (1) preventing flight in the event that officers found incriminating evidence; (2) minimizing the risk of harm to officers and occupants alike; and (3) gaining the assistance of the “occupants” to facilitate an orderly and quick search, for example, by opening locked doors or containers.
Id.
at 702-03,
Guadarrama argues that — despite its broad language in stating its holding at the end of its
opinion
— Summers justifies detentions only during searches of private premises.
Summers
considered the detention of the resident of a private home, and rested its conclusion in part on its finding that the detention of a person in his own home represents “only an incremental intrusion on personal liberty when the search of a home has been authorized by a valid warrant.”
Summers,
There is substantial authority for this position.
Summers
refers to the “resident” or “occupant” of a “house” or a “home”; and Guadarrama was neither a resident nor an occupant of the Tavern, and the Tavern is neither a house nor a home. Although the Seventh Circuit has found that
Summers can
authorize the detention of individuals who are neither occupants nor residents,
United States v. Pace,
Several circuits hold that
Summers
should be applied exclusively to detentions during searches of residences.
See, e.g., Baker,
Both Professor LaFave and the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia have considered whether
Summers
could justify detaining all patrons in a tavern pursuant to a search warrant for the tavern. Both conclude that the answer is no. Professor LaFave urges that
Summers
’ language referring to occupants must be read literally; discussing the detention of a tavern’s patrons, he concludes that, “the
Summers
rule, had it then existed, would not have justified the detention in
Ybarra v. Illinois
of a customer in a bar the police entered to search ... the
Ybarra
facts present an easy case as to what kind of situation is
not
covered by
Summers.” 2
LaFave,
Search and Seizure
§ 4.9(e) at 651. Similarly, the D.C. Court of Appeals observed that, “[cjommon sense suggests that there is a much greater likelihood that a person found in a small private residence containing drugs will be involved in the drug activity occurring there than an individual who happens to be in a public tavern where the bartender is suspected of possessing drugs.”
United States v. Reid,
For these reasons, I conclude that Simmers does not justify detaining persons in a public place while officers execute a search warrant for that place. Nonetheless, the unusual facts in this case are not the same as in Ybarra, where there was no reason to think that anyone present had any connection to dealing drugs other than the bartender. Here, the Tavern warrant was executed in coordination with the Residence warrant; a confidential informant had reported, and Detective Negron had observed, Tavern patrons leaving the Tavern’s side door, going upstairs, and returning within minutes with cocaine. At least one Tavern patron who sold drugs during one of the controlled buys, Jaime Molina-Carrillo, lived in the upstairs residence. The police thus reasonably believed that patrons of the Tavern lived in the upstairs residence where they stored cocaine which they sold downstairs in the Tavern. The connection between the Tavern (and its patrons) and the upstairs residence was thus so tight that, in the unusual circumstances of this case, officers were justified in considering the two premises together and it is appropriate to apply Summers ’ analysis.
3. Show of Force and Intensity of Intrusion
Summers identified three law enforcement interests that justify detaining persons present on premises being searched. Two of those interests were *1218 present here. Officers legitimately wanted to detain Tavern patrons in the event that they discovered contraband in their search of the upstairs residence that would provide probable cause to arrest one or more Tavern patrons; and they needed to protect themselves and nearby persons from any risk of violence as they executed the simultaneous warrants.
Guadarrama challenges the officers’ use of force in detaining the Tavern patrons. Summers acknowledged that detaining a person in his house was a comparatively limited intrusion, and Guadarrama urges that officers’ show of force here — ordering patrons onto the floor at gunpoint, handcuffing them, and keeping them at gunpoint even after handcuffing them — is of a different magnitude altogether.
Under
United States v. Sharpe,
The facts of this case are not as extreme as in other handcuffed detention cases that courts have found unreasonable.
Heitschmidt v. City of Houston,
Summers
noted that executing narcotics search warrants can be dangerous, and that the risk of harm to both police and any other persons present is minimized if the officers obtain and keep unquestioned command of the situation.
Summers,
D. Excessive Force
Guadarrama argues that officers’ alleged excessive force justifies suppressing the evidence found on his person pursuant to arrest.
20
The Fourth Amendment prohibits the use of excessive force during a search and seizure.
Graham v. Connor,
There are several problems with the argument here. First, there may be a distinction between an excessive
display
of force and an excessive
use
of force,
McNair v. Coffey,
E. Legality of the Upstairs Search
Guadarrama challenges the constitutionality of the search of the upstairs residence (and Garcia adopts this challenge), on the ground that it was in fact a multiunit dwelling; that the warrant did not authorize entry into the multiple units; and that probable cause is needed to search each unit in a multiple-occupancy structure.
United States v. Shamaeizadeh,
IV. CONCLUSION
For these reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant Rey Garcia’s request to adopt defendant Guadarrama’s motion to suppress and objections to the recommendation (R. 42) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation (R. 40) is ADOPTED and that defendant Gua-darrama’s motion to suppress (R. 28) is DENIED.
Notes
. Similar language is used in more than just drug search warrant forms. An HIDTA Task Force search warrant for weapons and ammunition, submitted to the courl with a motion to suppress in an unrelated case, United States v. Lagrone, No. 00-CR-146 (E.D.Wis. Sept. 7, 2000), is substantially similar, with the description of the premises concluding, "Search to include ... all persons present on premises.”
The supporting affidavit, also with a notation at the bottom indicating that it was prepared from a computerized form, concludes, “That affiant, based upon affiant’s training and experience, seeks permission to search all persons on the premises because: a) the premises in question is a private residence and weapons and other weapon-related contraband may easily be secreted on one’s person.” There is no ”b).”
. I use the term “all persons” warrant to refer to warrants authorizing the search of every person on a stated premises. I do not include warrants authorizing searches of every person on a stated premises reasonably

and its progeny in assessing other warrants.

Burns v. Loranger,
. Other than minor grammatical changes, Detective Negron's supporting affidavit in this case makes the same assertions verbatim.
. Indeed, as discussed supra, note 1, Hayes has been used to justify "all persons” search warrants for weapons and ammunition, on the ground that weapons and weapon-related contraband may easily' be secreted on one’s person — even without any assertion that it is common for such contraband to be found on persons inside residences suspected of having weapons.
. Hayes did mention Ybarra, but quickly distinguished it on the grounds that it was not an "all persons” warrant case (and also that it addressed the search of a public place). It is therefore curious that Graciani is the only "all persons” warrant case cited in Hayes; Hayes did not distinguish, or even mention, De Simone or the twenty-nine other jurisdictions following it, much less the eight jurisdictions that have held or suggested that "all persons” warrants are facially unconstitutional.
. It is worthy of note that
De
Simone's standard does not automatically authorize “all persons” warrants for non-public places, especially private residences. Innocent persons are likely to be present in a residence, even if there is probable cause that the residence also contains evidence of illegal activity.
De Simone,
.The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld an "all persons" warrant for an "after hours joint” in
Hinkel,
. The facts of the present case demonstrate why a magistrate must weigh the possibility that an "all persons” warrant will become a dragnet sweeping up and searching wholly innocenl people.
Nieves,
. The affidavit also persons the previous month, when a drug search warrant was executed a block away from the Tavern, were "known to be affiliated with the Guadalajara tavern,” (Aff. at 2), and further asserted that the Tavern was "known throughout the Hispanic community as a place where drugs can easily be acquired from the many different people who frequent this bar,”
(id.
at 4). But the affidavit stated no basis of knowledge for these assertions, and so they could not properly be considered.
Illinois v. Gates,
. A uniform policy, by definition, is not based upon any assessment of the individual facts of each situation. For this reason, at least one federal court has held that such a per se policy could expose a municipality to damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Renalde v. City and County of Denver, Colo.,
. Indeed, I am aware of only one case,
United States v. Cooper,
. I am not confident that this issue was timely presented under Fed.R.Crim.P. 12(c), 12(f), but will consider it because the government has not challenged its timeliness. Gua-darrama’s counsel stated in the evidentiary hearing before Judge Goodstein that he had pled the issue (Tr. at 65), but the first sign I see of its being briefed is in Guadarrama’s Reply in Support of Objections (R. 50 at 3-5).
