I am really surprised that the prevailing viewpoint is that it is fine to blanket strip search innocent people based on a police officer's discretion. I advise you to be meek and completely deferential to all requests an officers of the law makes of you, legal or not, lest you irritate one of them and he decides you are going to have a very bad day.

Again, you're bringing an issue that is irrelevant into the conversation.

No one is debating what should or should not land you in jail. The SC decision is limited ONLY to what is allowed IF you are booked into a jail.

Actually, he was suing not because he claimed he shouldn't have been arrested, but based on the claim that the strip search was unreasonable.

And his claim was quite properly denied.

The point of why he was arrested, and whether or not he deserved to be jailed, is a completely different discussion.

This. Whatever causes me to land there, if I'm being incarcerated, I fully expect it. It wouldn't make me happy, but it wouldn't come as a surprise.

It's also the least of my worries at that point.

If you get jailed unjustly, your problem is not that you got strip searched, your problem is that you got jailed unjustly.

Anyone being booked into jail. Perfectly reasonable. Hell I thought that was already the practice

Milwaukee police accused of performing illegal body cavity searches
By Elizabeth Chuck, msnbc.com

Seven officers and a supervisor at the Milwaukee police department have had their badges taken away after allegations surfaced that police have been conducting body cavity searches on suspects with no authority to do so.

Reports of officers arresting suspects then subjecting them to cavity searches first surfaced in local media in March. On Monday, after getting access to a police report, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that officers allegedly performed these searches on a routine basis.

One Milwaukee officer, Michael Vagnini, "had a reputation" for forcing suspects he believed had drugs in their body cavities to bend over for him, said defense attorney Alex Cossi, who handled a July 2011 case that alleges Vagnini searched his client and another suspect in the booking room.

"This was not a rogue happenstance. This was a tacit acceptance of strip searches without proper procedures or supervision," Cossi told The Journal Sentinel.

Vagnini found suspected cocaine "between (their) butt cheeks," the police report said.

Strip searches, which Wisconsin state law defines as searching "a detained person's genitals, pubic area, buttock or anus, or a detained female person's breast," can only be performed by a doctor, physician's assistant or registered nurse. The state law requires written permission before a strip search is conducted, unless there's probable cause to believe the suspect is hiding a weapon.

Cossi said his client was not provided with written documents before Vagnini performed the cavity search, which is a strip search involving penetration, on him. Because improper tactics were used to find the cocaine, the drug dealing charge against Cossi's client was thrown out, The Journal Sentinel reported.

It's not clear how many allegations of cavity searches the Police Department is facing....

You do realize that this case has nothing whatsoever to do with the Supreme court decision, which was restricted to a case where the strip search is legally authorized and normal procedure, don't you?

jail? prison? bah.... how about right here, at the side of the road, in front of the squad car headlights.
