Courts say anyone arrested for any crime from Jay walking, littering or having a tail light out cannot obect to strip searches. Still trying to get the link. Found this on MSN a hour ago.
WOO HOO, any little thing one does to get taken to the pokey, even for an hour, innocenent or guilty of some damn thing, --say walking in the park an some crazy squrell takes a liking to your shoes an you kick them out of the way. Some insane Anamal lover of Woverenes and city rats calls the cops on you.
Here you are in the police station charged with Animal crulity, taken into a room, made to strip Naked for a full body strip search. Reason they say is to be released into the prison population they must insure you do not bring in anything such as drugs that may harm the criminals. --- Lord forbid a person defending them selves from a Nut so Squral in the park go's into the general population and have something to corrupt the Rapist, Murders, thieves and punks hidden in their draws or up their Ass.
Yupe, any arrest for any reason warrented or not, needs to strip the person of their clothing and dignity, and do a full body search, Can't have a sixty year old woman who has a diabetic problem and is acting odd taken to jail With out loking up her who-who before allowed her to mingle wth the dregs of Humanity.
Betcha more strip searches are done on teenage girls then the over 40 year old woman. Just Saying.
