http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/02/supreme-court-signs-off-on-strip-searches-for-all-arrestees/Going forward from this week on, people arrested in the United States may face a mandatory strip search, even if their offense is minor and authorities dont suspect them of smuggling any contraband.
Thats because U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy sided with the courts conservatives on Monday, swinging the vote 5-4 in favor of allowing jail officials to conduct a strip search of anyone in their custody.

Strip searches for traffic tickets! When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, and a badge.

treason imo, oozing with malice of forethought.
