Question

A warrantless protective sweep of a residence by the police who are making a lawful arrest in the residence is considered to be legal if the police have a reasonable suspicion that the residence may contain an individual who poses a danger to the officers or to others. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

From the passage ,it is a lawful arrest they are making in the residence, and for then to carry out such operation, they must have the necessary papers and orders to do that.

When carrying out an arrest, there are two things backing it up;

1 A order from a superior voice or head after evidence and approval to go ahead to make such arrest

2. A warrant that would justify the arrest.

These two are very important and the process of them sweeping the residence shows they have the necessary backing to that and yes it they must be an individual that is considered dangerous and a threat to not only them but the entire residence .
