The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, like Improper Use of Magic, is a division inside the DMLE, reporting for the Law and Justice. Arthur Weasel is known for his strong defence of Muggles, just at the start of this year, he put forth a controversial by-law, The Muggle Protection Act. This bylaw is designed to protect Muggles from potentially harmful Magical or Magically charmed Artifacts entering their world from ours. On the outside, this law seems straightforward and with good intentions to protect us from being discovered, but hidden within this law, are small print conditions. The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office was given rights to conduct their own searches inside anyone's home that they believe may be hiding such objects without actual evidence. Many Lords of Ancient and Noble households are crying harassment and slander of their names, with a few being searched frequently and thoroughly, whilst other families haven’t even made it onto lists for searches let alone actually been searched. In March Arthur Weasel had made a statement to the press in response to these claims. "We are not biased or cruel in our searches. My teams conduct such searchers with honour and pride for the Ministry. We want to protect Muggles, who have no idea of our world, from being in danger from us. We are being just and firm in our beliefs, and we have certainly not targeted or avoided anyone to "harass or slander’ their names. We have our reasons and evidence for each search. The most important thing to remember is if you don’t have anything to hide, these searches aren't a problem and are over in short minutes. Why create a fuss when you have done nothing wrong?"
