Content: However, under the evanescent or fleeting evidence exception, police can seize evidence without a warrant if the evidence poses a risk of being lost. The idea is that the evanescent must be seized immediately and therefore the police do not have time to secure a formal warrant. This is especially true if the suspect has made attempts to destroy evidence before a warrant is secured. This is very similar to the idea of “hot pursuit” – that is, police also do not need an arrest warrant if the suspect has taken flight and they are in hot pursuit of the culprit. Contents
