"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."

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

Apparently "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" doesn't involve clothing.

Interesting.

Fox News claims this applies in jail.

Which is correct? Only in jail, or for anything?

If arrested and going to jail you may be searched. SCOTUS just said no you don't need probable cause to search someone you've already arrested.


I don't think this is a bad thing.

Didn't it say something like:

before admitting them to jail

?

If that's the case it's a good decision.

As usual, fascist "conservatives" support giving extraordinary power to the government.

Smaller government my ass.

No matter what, authorities are right...in your stupid world.
