If the jails believe that strip searches should be standard operating procedure (which everyone else on the discussion so far seems to believe) then, yes, that's what it looks like. Will 100% of jails adopt this as standard operating procedure? I don't know. I do know, however, that the Supreme Court has just said that it is perfectly acceptable for them to do so. That's the disturbing part. > I hate the polarizing tone of extremist rhetoric. And I hate the routine degradation of our constitutional rights. The Supreme Court just said that it was perfectly acceptable for a man to get strip searched *twice* because they thought he hadn't paid a fine. That's not extremist rhetoric, Cam. Those are straight up facts in the case. Justice Kennedy wrote, in the actual ruling, "every detainee who will be admitted to the general population may be required to undergo a close visual inspection while undressed." Justice Breyer noted dissent in lower court rulings that pointed out situations "included violating a leash law, driving without a license and failing to pay child support." So where is my extremist rhetoric, Cam?
