Supreme Court Ruling Allows Strip Searches for Any Arrest
Really? Really?
"According to opinions in the lower courts, people may be strip-searched
after arrests for violating a leash law, driving without a license and
failing to pay child support. Citing examples from briefs submitted to
the Supreme Court, Justice Breyer wrote that people have been subjected
to “the humiliation of a visual strip search” after being arrested for
driving with a noisy muffler, failing to use a turn signal and riding a
bicycle without an audible bell.
A nun was strip-searched, he wrote, after an arrest for trespassing during an antiwar demonstration."
