“...but I am almost certain if it was a cop then some excuse would have been fronted by some.” I don’t know what authority a cop has to do that on school property, but if taken into custody I think just about everyone gets strip-searched these days.

Well a cop apologist! Spetznaz hit that one on the head. No, most people don't get stripped searched these days when arrested. They certainly don't get arrested for having ibuprofen on their person, or suspicion of having it. Juveniles especially don't get stripped.

Do you recall the post with the video of the cops strip searching the good looking woman and the subsequent law suit that followed and is still on going? You can't be stripped searched except in extreme cases and then usually only after you have been convicted of a crime and sent to prison.

You are apologizing for cops when they were not even involved, in effect saying that it is ok to strip 13 yo girls if cops do it!

I am not apologizing for anything, [DELETED], just pointing out what I believe are facts. I think this school district and the individuals involved should be sued into bankruptcy and charged with crimes against a minor.

Someone mentioned the police. I merely pointed out that one would probably get a very thorough going-over if taken into custody. It’s called a body-cavity search and they do it to make sure a prisoner doesn’t have a weapon or drugs they can use to harm themselves or others.

I DO NOT believe that any school employee, public or private has the authority to strip search any student, especially over something as silly as aspirin.

Wand them for weapons, yes. Lock them in a room until the police arrive, yes. Subdue them if they are violent and restrain them, probably.

Does that clear things up a bit?
