I am NOT a lizard.

I’m not sure about the USA, but I know some extra stuff about UK law cause I study it (Though only at A level, not degree level!). OK, so, if you are being searched by an officer, they have to tell you: the grounds of the search, the offence they think you have/are/will commit, identify themselves and their station (Usually an officers ID number for reference), they have to read you your rights in relation to the search (different to arrests), state the act under which they are arresting you, and say clearly that you are being detained for the purposes of a search. Breaking any of these can start a viable civil law case, though if it isn’t significant, you may be advised not to. Also, don’t ever volunteer for a search. Unless the officer tells you they need to search you and why, don’t volunteer. The reason for this, is that you effectively give up all of your rights in relation to searches when you volunteer (Again, this is for the UK, so I’m not sure about elsewhere). If the officer tells you they are searching you under the CJPO then they DON’T NEED A REASON. This is put in place for big events when it is likely that people might cause trouble (’in anticipation of violence’), and lasts for 24 hours, and isn’t very common, but just know that if they say that’s the act, then they don’t need to have reasonable suspicion. 

a new law is about to be passed in Saudi Arabia that will allow the government to execute people for coming out or being openly gay online.
