Supreme Court signs off on strip searches for all arrestees

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 don’t suspect them of smuggling any contraband.

That’s because U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy sided with the court’s 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.
