New Jersey man arrested for a traffic fine that had already been paid. A minor violation...he was strip searched twice. I view that as “unreasonable” search and seizure but wonder why it wasnt checked out before hand that his fine had already been cancelled out.
Basing my views on what I have heard about this case.

[humblegunner]

the power of jails across the United States to carry out invasive strip searches on all incoming detainees

Standard procedure, practically everywhere.

Have you ever been to jail?

[microgood]

This happens for two reasons:

(1) Everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
(2) Governments are packed full of sexual perverts.

Even though I was wrongly chastised by a few here for calling the black robed morons, black robed morons, I will do it again.

Here, once more we have either 4 or 5 black robed morons who are supposed to be SUPREME COURT JUSTICE material and cannot agree on what that rather short document means.

Obviously they heard much more that we have in the very limited news reports and again should have taken all that SUPREME Constitutional expertise on our foundation document and be able to agree 9-0 yes or no but instead we have the 5-4 political hack moron factor.

I want the constitution followed otherwise we should all be free to decide what laws we will or will not follow.

Given we do not have the SUPREME Constitutional understanding falsely attributed to these morons, ignorance of the law should be a valid excuse.

YES THEY ARE MORONS. Political hack MORONS. The party above all else even the US Constitution and the citizens. But I’ll give them a little leeway after all they are lawyers so honesty and character are not their strong suits.

yeah. probably they wouldn’t be able to attract as much “talent” without the “fringe benefits.”

[sarasmom]

Far too many “laws” in far too many states allow for unlawful detention in jails of people “suspected of crimes”.

Florida recently held a man in jail for almost two years. He was arrested, charged and the government tried real hard to convict him of killing his baby daughter.
It was eventually proven that he did not have any involvement at all in his childs death.
(A State licensed, paid childcare provider physically abused and killed her, and at least one other child, as proven to date)

I'm pretty sure the least of his complaints as an innocent man, was the jailhouse strip search.

I wince every time I hear Scalia/Roberts/Alito described as “conservatives”. They are police state conservatives. They always side with authority. They are Archie Bunker conservatives raised in an era when the Warren Court was out of control. For them, the 2nd Amendment is great. The 4th & 5th are for sissies.

It isn't 1971 anymore. It's not hippies vs. hardhats anymore. We are in a true police state and these anachronisms are making it worse day by day. And we cheer them as “conservatives”?

It's hopeless. Ben Franklin, we lost your republic. Roll in peace. :(

It's amazing how many places the human body can hide a weapon.

Full body searches are done for the safety of the officers as well as the other perps in the holding cells. This is SOP in almost every jurisdiction.
