In the eyes of the law, does a missing child automatically fulfill the &quot;imminent danger&quot; or &quot;imminent destruction of evidence&quot; parts of exigent circumstance? Or does there need to be some other evidence to support those reasons?<p>Further, does the law, as written, allow detainment of individuals while those reasons are decided?<p>Until someone can describe the legal link between the fact it&#x27;s a missing child and the conclusion these are exigent circumstances from a legal perspective, I can only interpret the pointing out that it&#x27;s a missing child as a plea to emotion at best and a thought terminating cliche at worst.
