who agrees with the strip search ruling

Didn't the Justices state that these seaches were only for arrested persons who were going into general population. I assume "the tank" that most people get thrown into when first arrested is considered "general population".

Ive watched Jail several times .. drunks dont get a strip search before being tossed into a holding cell with other offenders, several of them. Ive seen it get violent with my own eyes, if someone had a ballpoint pen they could stab another drunk, or an officer trying to break up the fight. I saw one guy get a beat down using the phone in a large waiting room before he even made it to a holding tank. IMO people who are capable of going to jail are capable of most anything

Well I guess I can only speak from personal experience then. Don't know what jail you experienced this in sounds to me like the department was not organized or someone wasn't paying attention someone was seriously slacking. Most people on minor offenses bond out before processing or pay their outstanding ticket before processing. Now if it is something more serious like a felony or a class A misdemeanor then your going to be processed into the Jail system. I have been to jail.. yea I said it. So I kinda know what I am talking about. I have never seen in the few times I did experience it (not just here in Houston by the way) any of the type of violence your talking about. But hey, maybe that's just on the men's side eh? I recall watching the males being brought into Harris county and their holding cell was right across from the ladies holding cell. Believe me they had tight control of them. Lets see "face the wall don't look at the police officer, do not turn around until they say so".. etc. etc. At the time they had 3-4 officers controlling them. The same thing was done with the ladies. In fact one young teenager got hysterical and freaked out and they took her into the next holding cell room and beat the shit out of her. Then brought her back and believe me she didn't misbehave after that.

I can only say that Houston, Dallas, and Austin are what I am talking about. Maybe your jails are differently run where you are from. I have been put in with the drunks too on a traffic ticket warrant. They do search you.. at least here in Texas. You just don't get the invasive strip search where you have to strip naked, bend over and cough possibly a cavity search if they think you do have something up your ass or twat.. no they only do this if you are going into the jail system.

Well, I have been in jail, (long ago, in a galaxy far away), and the Harris County Holding Tank will hold about 100 men.

You go in there with traffic warrant violators, drunks, thieves, drug dealers, rapist, and mass murderers. You will be in that "tank" for about 8 hours.

For some reason I would see no reason NOT to search any one going in.

The only people that would agree with it are people that haven't been stripped searched because they didn't have a ringing bell on their bicycle.

Olivia, when I got thrown into the Harris County Jail, they did everything but stick a cattle prod up my ass, and I was in there for a Class B Misdomeanor.

If you refused to be searched, I think that is when they get out the cattle prod.

What cracks me up is when I did get processed into the jail system they lined up about 10 or so ladies and they had female guards there that looked like men..lol anyway, we are all completely naked and they are telling us to touch our toes run our fingers through our hair then turn around and bend our knees while bending over, then squat and cough. So after having done all this.. one of the ladies had some xanax up her twat.. and it never came out from this procedure. LMAO

Unless they think you do have something up there, or you piss them off then your getting the cavity search! They aren't gentle like your gyno trust me..

funny thing, very bad people wanted for big crimes get picked up for doing little stupid shit like not paying traffic fines

Hey Sexyeccentric, I spent three days in that shit hole. I think that is what they call "being in jail'.
When you go into that shower and that "cop" makes you bend down and touch your knees, you are being "searched"
