[QUOTE="DeliaD, post: 2960486, member: 95107"] Good advice...for the U.S.! The general "be polite" aspects are always good. Unfortunately some of the specifics you mention are inapplicable in terms of this incident. In the U.K. you are arrested so the matter can be investigated, not just to be charged It was NOT a legal search due to the breaches of PACE described. And in the U.K. if you are to be searched you do not have the right to wait for your brief/solicitor - you will be searched by force if necessary. This is rare, but I have done it. There is no such thing as a search by consent in U.K. law anymore (or "voluntary search" as it was known). If the officers have no grounds they have no search - in other words you cannot just "go fishing" [/QUOTE]
