There may be an exception if someone on the premises appears to present a threat to the Peace/Police Officers conducting the search. (ex: a woman with an open pocketbook which appears as thought the pocketbook might contain a small handgun, is subject to a search. The woman may comprise the Officer's safety and the safety of other people, during the Search.)
