cocaine found in a "baggie" during a manual body cavity search
performed at a police station, without a warrant.  The officer
who carried out the search testified that he saw the "baggie"
protruding from defendant's rectum, and removed it.  Since no
exigent circumstances prevented the police from seeking prior
judicial authorization for the search, defendant's motion to
suppress should be granted to the extent of suppressing the
cocaine recovered (see People v Hall, 10 NY3d 303, 311 [2008]).
