drug search
Looking for contraband
A drug search is an inspection of a person, vehicle, property, or belongings to find illegal substances.
Law enforcement conducts drug searches at traffic stops, borders, and airports; schools may search lockers; employers may search workplaces.
The legality of drug searches often hinges on consent, warrants, or probable cause: The officer's drug search turned up nothing.
