Sure! Here’s some more detailed information about your rights regarding searches by law enforcement in Missouri:
- Search Standards: Generally, searches must be reasonable, and officers often need a warrant or probable cause.
- Consent: You can refuse a search if there's no warrant, but an officer can still search if they have probable cause.
- Gender-Specific Searches: It's recommended that a female officer conduct searches involving intimate areas, but exceptions exist in urgent situations.
