Ok, so here is my take on this.
1. A holding cell is not a jail is not a prison, and each should have
rules catered to it's specific environment. Authorizing strip searches for
failure to follow a leash law, or speeding, is excissive.
2. the guy shouldn't have been arrested, the fine was paid
It seems they are basing the decision on a few earlier decisions:
"...the Ninth Circuit ruled in United States. v. Aukai that "airport

reasonable administrative searches because they are conducted as part of
