ABSTRACT:
A method and a probing implement for facilitating searches of hidden areas, such as inside pants pockets, under collars, or under belts is disclosed herein. The probing implement includes an elongated body with a handle portion at one end, a tacky portion at the other end, and a cover enveloping at least the tacky portion. The method includes removing the cover from the tacky portion of probing implement, grasping the probing implement by the handle portion, inserting at least the tacky portion of the probing implement into a recessed area of clothing, moving the probing implement within recessed area so that tacky portion has an opportunity to contact and adhere to any hidden objects, withdrawing the probing implement from the recessed area, and either disposing of the probing implement or placing the probing implement along with any attached objects into an evidence bag. In an alternative method, the covered tacky portion of the implement may be inserted into the recess and the cover subsequently withdrawn while the implement is within the recess.
