It permits police officers to make an immediate search of the passenger compartment of an automobile incident to the arrest of an occupant or "recent occupant." It applies when officers do not initiate contact with the occupant until AFTER the occupant has voluntarily exited the vehicle and walked away from it.

Can female police officers search male s?

Yes, in the absence of a male officer a female officer may pat down (for weapons) a male subject she has under arrest - then handcuff and secure him until the arrival of a male officer to conduct a more thorough body search. It is the same rule that applies when a male officer must search a female arrestee.

Can a female strip search a male?

Unless there is some specific prohibition in your area, yes. In fact the idea that a male searches a male and a female searches a female is normally policy, not regulation. A small department may not have an officer of the 'correct' sex available when a search needs to be done, so whoever is available can perform the searches.

Can illegally obtained evidence be used in a trial?

Hmmm....this looks exactly like the question posted for homework by my professor. Looks like somebody needs to think on their own and do their own homework. Just look up exclusionary rule. Also, this is an opinion question, so there really is no way to get an incorrect answer unless you can not support your theory.


Got pulled over because did two stop to avoid hitting a kid and you had your son in car in car seat can they search car they made you take your son out of car?

The Fourth Amendment secures the rights of Americans to be secure in their person, property, or residence from unlawful search and seizure. If you are pulled over, the LEO can not search your vehicle without probable cause, unless they view something under the plain sight rule. If the LEO sees a pound of weed on the front seat, then they can search the vehicle. If there is nothing to give the officer probable cause, then they can not search without a warrant. If a Law Enforcement Officer intends to illegally search the vehicle. You may acknowledge, and state, that you believe it's an illegal search; however, do not resist in any way. If the search is truly illegal, the evidence they obtain will not be allowed in court. Resisting the search is a good way to cause harm to yourself, and you may be violating other laws in the process.
