I have been searched many 'A time and have only been caught once. Cops do and will search your crotch, in fact they love to do it. In my experience that is usually the first place they go to. There not going to search your ass unless you give them a reason and I have never had my shoes or socks searched. Sometimes cops will do half assed searches. For instace i had a gram bag in my pocket and the cop just overlooked it.
