A quick definition of emergency search:

Emergency search is when a police officer searches someone or something without a warrant because they believe there is an urgent need to protect life or property and there is not enough time to get a warrant. This is only allowed if the officer has probable cause.

A more thorough explanation:

An emergency search is a type of search conducted by a police officer without a warrant when there is probable cause and a need to protect life or property, and there is not enough time to obtain a warrant. For example, if a police officer sees someone breaking into a house and hears screams for help, they can conduct an emergency search without a warrant to find the suspect and ensure the safety of the people inside.

Other types of searches include:

  • Consent search: A search conducted after a person with the authority to do so voluntarily waives Fourth Amendment rights. For example, if a police officer asks to search someone's car and the person agrees, it is a consent search.
  • Protective search: A search of a detained suspect and the area within the suspect's immediate control, conducted to protect the arresting officer's safety and often to preserve evidence. For example, if a police officer arrests someone and searches them for weapons, it is a protective search.
  • Warranted search: A search conducted under authority of a search warrant. For example, if a judge issues a warrant to search a suspect's home for drugs, it is a warranted search.

It is important to note that searches conducted without probable cause or other legal considerations are considered unreasonable and illegal. For example, if a police officer searches someone's car without a warrant or probable cause, it is an illegal search.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
