Officers can search you and the area immediately around you when you are arrested. Also, an officer may do a \u201cpat down\u201d even if he\/she is not going to arrest you, but if they think you may be armed or a threat to them. However, a pat down does not include thoroughly search your belongings or residence. It is only about keeping the officer safe.&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/beta10.technodreamcenter.com\/feddefense\/search-warrant\/&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:40&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; background_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221;][vc_column][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:60&#8243;][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Poppins%3A300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; font_weight=&#8221;700&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text_color=&#8221;#f9ea01&#8243; text=&#8221;RELATED&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:14&#8243; letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][tm_blog style=&#8221;carousel&#8221; gutter=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;.catblogslide&#8221; carousel_nav=&#8221;1&#8243; carousel_gutter=&#8221;30&#8243; number=&#8221;11&#8243; pagination=&#8221;infinite&#8221; pagination_align=&#8221;center&#8221; taxonomies=&#8221;post_tag:search-warrant&#8221; carousel_items_display=&#8221;xs:1;sm:2;md:3;lg:3&#8243; carousel_auto_play=&#8221;10000&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:60&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:50&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;p&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text=&#8221;Catherine is an experienced criminal defense lawyer that defends with tenacity against criminal charges.
