Common use of Searches and Seizures Clause in Contracts

Searches and Seizures. Searches and seizures by the Government of the private property of its employees are subject to Constitutional constraints. Individuals do not lose their Constitutional rights merely because they work for the Government instead of a private employer. Employees may store personal papers and effects in their offices, desks, and file cabinets. However, a search or seizure of such items without a warrant may be justified if Management has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will produce evidence that the employee is guilty of work-related misconduct, or that the search is necessary for a non- investigative work-related purpose, such as insuring the internal security of the agency. Security concerns may necessitate searches of HUD space by any appropriate and legal method. It should be understood that personal items owned by the employee, such as pocketbooks, briefcases or other like materials, are not subject to search without probable cause to believe criminal activity is involved, but that failure to comply with a search prompted by security concerns may be grounds for denial of access to HUD space. The provisions outlined above are intended to deal with matters such as, but not limited to, possession of illegal drugs, firearms, explosives or other material that presents a threat to the internal security of the agency. Employees should also be aware that Management may exercise its right to access work spaces to obtain work materials when the employee is not present or for other legitimate reasons.
