When practicable, witnesses shall be present during the search in order to protect the searching officer from subsequent allegations of misconduct. B. LOCATION OF SEARCHES If other than a routine booking search is to be conducted, it shall be performed in an appropriately private area. All strip, visual, and physical body cavity searches shall be conducted in an area of privacy so that the search cannot be observed by persons not participating in the search. Persons are considered to be participating in the search if their official duties require them to be present at the time the search is conducted.
