Do you need a warrant to search there?

I'd imagine cops never like confronting a suspect with a concealed weapon, but this situation is probably definitely worse than usual:
A naked man was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after telling police he had a screwdriver in his buttocks.

The man was lying on a tree stump masturbating beside a nature path near the El Cerrito Bay Area Rapid Transit station Thursday, police said.

John Sheehan, 33, of Pittsburg was initially arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. But when asked if he was carrying anything police should know about, Sheehan mentioned the tool, said El Cerrito Detective Cpl. Don Horgan.

``You can't get much more concealed than that,'' Horgan said.
Well, technically, I guess you could get more concealed than that, but I don't think any of us want to get into that discussion.
Officers drew their weapons and firefighters were called to the scene, but Sheehan removed a 6-inch metal awl wrapped in black electrical tape without incident.
I think pulling a six-inch metal tool out from between your butt cheeks counts as an incident in and of itself, but that's just me.
Sheehan, who was paroled from state prison last week, was then booked into the county jail in Martinez on suspicion of parole violations, indecent exposure and one felony count of possessing a concealed weapon.
Something tells me he'll be going back to the hoosegow. Actually, it sounds like he wants to go back. It's not exactly like he was being discreet, after all.
