Opinion
Delivered June 24, 1999
Our Committee on Criminal Practice has recommended in light of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Knowles v. Iowa (December 8, 1998) that Rule 5.5 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure be repealed. We agree. Accordingly, effective immediately, Rule 5.5 is repealed.
RULE 5.5. Lawful Searches.
The issuance of a citation in lieu of arrest or continued custody does not affect the authority of a law enforcement officer to conduct an otherwise lawful search or any other investigative procedure incident to an arrest.
