I will make the suspect in safe custody because there were various illegal substances found in the house. First of all, I will collect all the samples and evidence around the house and make sure that the collected sample of powder is really a drug substance or any other chemical substance. According to the 4th amendment, the law enforcement agencies would not be able to arrest to forcefully conceal all the private items of the suspect. The investigation agencies have to gain special access permits (warrants) from the judge to access the private information of the suspect.
