Strip searching someone falsely accused of failing to pay a small fine is clearly in the wrong. Regardless of what those legal minds have accomplished.
But they said it was ok because of the dangers in prison. As if that justifies everything.
Strip searches for PRISONERS is ok. You've lost rights.
Strip searches for ARRESTEES is not ok. You're not guilty of anything.
You're conflating the two.
The SCOTUS didn't. They say it's ok for any arrestee to be strip searched, giving the jail administrators leeway for not having to do so. As if they'll not take it.
"The Supreme Court on Monday ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that officials may strip-search people arrested for any offense, however minor, before admitting them to jails even if the officials have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband."

Solar AND wind would be even better.
First, I didn't say possession. I said child porn. i.e. its manufacture.
Second, if there is demand, then there will be supply. Regardless of cost.
From all the whining about it!

Pretty sure child porn isn't victimless...
That kind of narrow focus, where cops will apply to all cases, is why all of us non-lawyers laugh at the larger ignorance of the SCOTUS.
While they strip away our freedoms (and our clothes).
Sorry, but it's unreasonable to get a strip search for an unpaid fine. All the moreso one that was already paid. But SCOTUS disagrees.
And that's why we, as non-lawyers, laugh at the SCOTUS.
Yeah, just like Julian Assange.
And blow it up!
Just run it by SCOTUS. They changed the 4th amendment yesterday. Why not another one?
Why would they get detained?
Did I really need to put this:
Get old phone that's not associated with you.
" the TSA is ... a complete embarrassment to the United States of America, "
And even more so that the flight crew found this and not the TSA.
If everybody on Slashdot gets an old phone, opens it up and leaves it on a plane...
No, he's trying to paint a narrow picture based on the justices' opinions.
The cops won't do that.
God forbid that we point out one more problem in the 'justice' system.
Can the cops arrest anyone, for anything including resisting arrest?
Yes.
Can the cops put any arrestee into the 'general population' i.e. drunk tank?
Yes.
Can the cops strip search any arrestee being put into the 'general population'?
Yes.
You paint one special corner. One most cops will avoid with the above steps.
You miss the important point.
You can be arrested for anything.
You can be put in jail for said arrest.
You can be strip searched before being put in jail.
Any cop, any where, any time, for any reason can strip search you.
Your 4th amendment rights have been removed by the SCOTUS.
And hopefully the warrants for those unpaid tickets are properly cleared up....
Yes, now we have to rely on the system to do it's job to avoid being strip searched.
You're dead wrong.

Also, jails are where innocent, yet charged, people go. Prisons are where convicted people go.
IF???
The SCOTUS just gave them a big thumbs up to do exactly this.
In other words, feel free to take a black sharpie to the 4th amendment of the constitution. On every copy.
Since yesterday.
#1 is out now. It's now legal.
Yes, you very well fucking could be strip searched for a 'non-prison' offense.
The case in question, the man was incorrectly served a warrant for an unpaid fine. That he had actually paid.
For this, he was strip searched twice.
Yes, it's utterly horrifying.
