shakedown search

A quick definition of shakedown search:

A shakedown search is when a police officer looks for evidence of a crime on a person's body or in their property. This can only be done if there is a good reason to suspect that the person has done something wrong. Sometimes, searches are done without a warrant in emergency situations or if the police believe that evidence will be destroyed if they wait for a warrant. A shakedown search can also happen in a prison cell to look for illegal items. It's important for the police to follow the rules when doing a search to protect people's rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A shakedown search is a random and warrantless search for illicit or contraband material (such as weapons or drugs) in a prisoner's cell.

Example: A prison guard conducts a shakedown search of a prisoner's cell to look for any illegal items. The guard may search the prisoner's bed, clothing, and personal belongings to ensure that no contraband is present.

Explanation: A shakedown search is a type of search that is conducted without a warrant or probable cause. It is usually done randomly to prevent prisoners from hiding illegal items in their cells. The search is conducted by prison guards who have the authority to search the cells of prisoners. The purpose of the search is to ensure that the prison is safe and secure for both the prisoners and the guards. The example illustrates how a shakedown search is conducted and why it is necessary in a prison setting.
