When conducting building searches, one should not do which of the following?

  1. Use flashlights

  2. Rub your body against the wall

  3. Speak softly

  4. Clear the area of potential hazards

The correct answer is: Rub your body against the wall

When conducting building searches, rubbing your body against the wall is not recommended because it can create unnecessary noise and movement, which may compromise the security of the search and potentially alert any individuals who may be hiding. Maintaining a low profile is essential in ensuring that the search is conducted stealthily and effectively. Using flashlights can be beneficial to illuminate dark areas, and speaking softly can aid in maintaining a level of stealth. Clearing the area of potential hazards is also crucial for the safety of the officers involved in the search. Therefore, avoiding excessive physical contact with walls helps maintain a strategic and cautious approach in potentially dangerous environments.
