“DOES POLICE HAVE RIGHT TO SEARCH AN ARRESTED
SUSPECT?”
In a situation where a police officer arrests a suspect or such
suspected is arrested by a none police officer and handed over to a
police officer, such suspect can be searched by the police officer.
In searching the suspect, the police officer if necessary can apply
reasonably force on such suspect.
My authority is section 9 (1)(a) of the Administration of
Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
