Hey lady, I don't care how nice your ass is... nobody accuses me of supporting fascism and gets away with it! Get bent (that will make the view even nicer)! We are talking about jail here, about people who have been arrested for one reason or another... not grabbing people randomly off the street and poking a flashlight up their rear.

The statement about people being arrested for minor crimes turning out to be wanted for serious crimes strikes me, at first, as bullshit... akin to "well, he looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie."
Upon reflection, however, The concept applies before arrest. After a person has been arrested - presumably on legitimate grounds - is a different matter. As horrendously degrading a strip search no doubt is, it does not strike me as unreasonable that a person be thoroughly searched before being put in their cell.

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.

All the conservative justices voted in favor of stripping your 4th amendment rights, and the liberals were defending it.
In case anyone is interested in reading the whole 41-page document.

Justice Kennedy, who seemed so concerned with Liberty during oral argument on the ACA, a bit less so today.

Hey, if a police officer thinks your girlfriend/wife/sister/daughter is hot, and can think of a possible crime she might have been committing, he has every right to haul her in and put her in a room (with a video camera for her protection) and have her strip searched. If she has nothing to hide, she shouldn't have a problem with it, right Desideri?
