What's at Stake
Whether a jail policy of strip searching every new detainee violates the Fourth Amendment.
Summary
The question in this case is whether a jail may institute a policy of strip searching every new detainee regardless of the reason for the detention. In an amicus brief submitted on behalf of five former New Jersey Attorneys General, the 老澳门开奖结果 argues that such strip searches violate New Jersey law and the Fourth Amendment in the absence of reasonable suspicion. As the brief explains, strip searches are uniquely intrusive and a blanket policy of strip searching every detainee is unnecessary to maintain jail security.
