The U.S. Supreme Court backed the use of strip searches of newly arrested people, saying jails can take steps to ensure that even those arrested for minor offenses aren’t smuggling in weapons or drugs. Ruling in a case that pitted security concerns against privacy rights, the justices today said in a 5-4 vote that officials don’t need individualized suspicion before conducting searches that involve close inspection of private body parts. Two members of the majority -- Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito -- wrote separately to say the decision was a limited one. Roberts said the ruling left open the possibility of exceptions, while Alito said it was limited to newly arrested inmates who are admitted into the prison’s general population. “Jails are often crowded, unsanitary and dangerous places,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court. “There is a substantial interest in preventing any new inmate, either of his own will or as a result of coercion, from putting all who live or work at these institutions at even greater risk when he is admitted to the general population.” The case split the court along ideological lines, with Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas joining the majority.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Well there is a right to privacy, the 4th amendment but it can't apply to prisoners. We should have a LOT less people in jail, and a much better justice system, IMO. The present system is payola to the correctional officers union, lawyers unions, and court employee's unions, police union, graft, corruption, and fraud. Oh, I forgot the teachers union, to get them plugged into the system. My bad.
You idiots are two peas on a pod; dog's a fascist, and you're a friggin' socialist. Nobody gives a crap if it's the left boot or the right, that's on the neck of America. Too bad you geniuses can't figure that out...
That's what you libTURD filth call people who support COMPLETELY the US CONSTITUTION AS IT IS WRITTEN. Because, you gibbering libTURD bitch, it's the F' ing LAW for the feral gooberment. Which is the ONLY way to control the feral gooberment, just as OUR FOUNDERS intended. If you libTURD filth don't like what is WRITTEN IN THE LAW, then change what is WRITTEN IN THE LAW by the methods provided. Otherwise, F off you filthy libTURD wannabe tyrant bitches. Why are you such a WHORE for TYRANNY as long as it's called libTURDISM brianna? Why WHORE?
