California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Elizabeth G., 105 Cal.Rptr.2d 811, 88 Cal.App.4th 496 (Cal. App. 2001):
The police did not search the home or arrest any of the occupants. Instead, they utilized a "less restrictive restraint," simply seizing the home and requiring police accompaniment when the occupants moved throughout the residence. (Illinois v. McArthur, supra, 531 U.S. at p. 332, 121 S.Ct. at 950.) The police did not prevent the occupants from leaving the home: the minor was permitted to accompany her mother to the hospital.
