On Monday, April 2, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS), in a 5 to 4 split decision allowed strip searches for all arrests , including for minor offenses such as allowing your dog to walk without a leash. You can bet your little booties that police officers who are experiencing a hard-on or collect Nazi dungeon pornography will be given incentives to arrest and strip search those that appeal to their particular sexual perversions. Of course, they will claim they are doing this for public safety. The procedure for a strip search will be as follows: the prisoner disrobes and is checked front and back, each item of clothing is inspected for contraband/weapons, the prisoner is asked to run their fingers thru their hair to make sure no contraband/weapon is hidden, the prisoner is asked to raise his hands to make sure no contraband/weapons are hidden in their armpits, the prisoner is asked to squat and cough to make sure (s)he is not holding any contraband/weapons in their annal cavity. If necessary, a colonscopy is performed. the prisoner is asked to spread their cheeks, uncircumcised men are asked to roll up their foreskin just to make sure no contrabands/weapons are stored in their penis Check out the police officer to see if he has a banana in his pocket or he's just happy to see you in your birthday suit. We can all (except the police) conclude that imposing seriously punitive conditions of detention on someone who has not been found guilty of any crime is a violation of his right to physical and psychological integrity as well as of his presumption of innocence
