51. Search of arrested person.

(1) Whenever a person is arrested by a police officer under a warrant which
does not provide for the taking of bail, or under a warrant which provides for the taking of bail but the person
arrested cannot furnish bail, and
whenever a person is arrested without warrant, or by a private person under a warrant, and cannot legally be
admitted to bail, or is unable to furnish bail,
the officer making the arrest or, when the arrest is made by a private person, the police officer to whom he
makes over the person arrested, may search such person, and place in safe custody all articles, other than necessary
wearing-apparel, found upon him and where any article is seized from the arrested person, a receipt showing the
articles taken in possession by the police officer shall be given to such person.
