Failure to have a search warrant in hand is not a Fourth Amendment violation as long as its terms are complied with. State v. Wilson<\/a>, 984 So. 2d 870 (La. App. 5th Cir. 2008):<\/p>\n

The Fourth Amendment does not require that the accused be served with a copy of the search warrant before the search and seizure occurs. See Katz v. United States<\/em><\/a>, 389 U.S. 347, 355 n.16, 88 S.Ct. 507, 514, 19 L.Ed.2d 576 (1967); United States v. Bonner<\/em>, 808 F.2d 864, 869 (1st Cir. 1986), cert. denied, 481 U.S. 1006, 107 S.Ct. 1632, 95 L.Ed.2d 205 (1987); United States v.

Protective search of defendant’s gym bag in vehicle during traffic stop was justified by officer safety. McDowell v. State<\/a>, 179 Md. App. 666, 947 A.2d 582 (2008):<\/p>\n

The search of the gym bag during Trooper Gussoni’s roadside traffic stop clearly falls within the parameters of Long<\/em><\/a>. Accordingly, we must consider “whether a reasonably prudent man in the circumstances would be warranted in the belief that his safety or that of others was in danger.” Long<\/em>, 463 U.S. at 1050 (internal quotation omitted). Under Long<\/em>, “[t]o engage in an area search, which is limited to seeking weapons, the officer must have an articulable suspicion that the suspect is potentially dangerous.” Id.<\/em> at 1052 n.16.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
