search incident to arrest

Read a random definition: risk factor

A quick definition of search incident to arrest:

A search is when a police officer looks for evidence of a crime on a person or in a place that is private. Usually, they need a good reason to do this, called probable cause. However, there are some situations where they can search without a warrant, like if they are arresting someone or if there is an emergency. Sometimes, a person might give permission for the police to search, but they have to do it freely and not under pressure. There are different types of searches, like a protective search to keep the officer safe, or an inventory search when someone is arrested.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A search conducted by a law enforcement officer of a person's body, property, or other area that the person would reasonably expect to be private, for the purpose of finding evidence of a crime. This type of search is conducted after an arrest has been made.

Example: After arresting a suspect for drug possession, a police officer searches the suspect's pockets and backpack for any additional drugs or drug paraphernalia. This search is considered a search incident to arrest.

This type of search is allowed under the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. However, the search must be conducted with probable cause and must be limited to the area within the suspect's immediate control, in order to protect the safety of the arresting officer and to preserve evidence.
