emergency circumstances

Read a random definition: determinative judgment

A quick definition of emergency circumstances:

Emergency circumstances refer to situations that require immediate action or attention. These situations may allow people to bypass usual procedures or require police officers to take immediate action without a warrant. Examples of emergency circumstances include when someone's life or safety is threatened, a suspect is about to escape, or evidence is about to be destroyed. It is important to act quickly and appropriately in emergency circumstances to ensure the safety and well-being of those involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Emergency circumstances refer to situations that require immediate action and may allow people to bypass usual procedures. These situations may involve threats to a person's life or safety, imminent suspect escape, or the removal or destruction of evidence.

Examples:

  • A neighbor breaking through a window of a burning house to save someone inside is an example of emergency circumstances.
  • A police officer taking immediate action to make an arrest, search, or seizure without a warrant due to probable cause is another example of emergency circumstances.

These examples illustrate how emergency circumstances demand quick action to prevent harm or loss of life. In both cases, people are allowed to bypass usual procedures to address the situation at hand.
