IANAL, I'm a libertarian and against all forms of ad-hoc searches, but I think the government has a point here. As I understand this the goal is to control contraband and weapons entering the prison system. I don't see any way you could get around having to to search all those entering.
But that's a different situation than being searched for a crime. If I understood this correctly, this is simply an administrative search, not a search in search of evidence. Or put another way, if you get arrested for a joint and during the search the cops find cocaine, I'm not sure that would mean much of anything. (except you lose your cocaine)
But I'm probably completely off-base.
- cheez 15y agoSure, let's see what happens when you get strip searched for mundane things like being too noisy.
- kijeda 15y agoIsn't the issue, then, that you shouldn't be put in jail for such offences, rather than making arguments concerning strip searching?
- darklajid 15y agoHow about - both.
- cheez 15y ago"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it" This applies especially and probably mostly to the police and government. Police indirectly get more money for more arrests. Therefore, arrest more people. You should be glad when you get a driving ticket. It's a proxy for an arrest or two that could have happened instead.
