After the arrest,Officer Deeter:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After an arrest, a police officer has the authority to search the person who was arrested for their own protection and to prevent the destruction of evidence. This is known as a "search incident to arrest" and does not require a warrant. However, the officer does not have the authority to search bystanders without a warrant or probable cause. Using handcuffs may or may not be necessary depending on the circumstances of the arrest, but it is not directly related to the officer's search authority.
