What warrants and unwarranted search and seizure?

Posted in Criminal over 2 years ago, 1 reply

If police arrive at a crime scene and there is a man standing over a murdered victim with blood on his hands, I believe they have the right to arrest him, but do they have the right to take the skin from under his fingernails without a warrant when they have just picked him up from the crime scene?

I feel that the police don't nessicarily have the right to arrest the man standing over the victim. There's a chance that the man was merely a person trying to help the victim, and thus a scapegoat. Circumstantially, the evidence against him merely being there is quite incriminating, but given the few details you've provided, there's not enough information to rule him out from being a good samaritan.
