No shit!

[ut oh]

1. This is the perfect way of

spreading the word on this.

Tell anyone and everyone that their mother/father/grandparents can get strip searched of running a stop sign, or failing to signal properly.

9. never mind mother/father/grandparents...

...their teenage daughters who are out driving to the mall with the new learners' permit better not forget to signal when changing lanes.

2. A sad lol for that.

I had to laugh, even though I am outraged & horrified at what our government has become.

3. oh and your daughter, plus they have to squat when they inspect their vaginas.

Be sure to pass that on when a tea bagger makes some vague reference to liberty.

4. Only if she's headed jail

And I for one think it is a good law. "Granny" may just have gotten herself arrested in order to introduce contraband to a correctional facility. "Granny" may just become unhinged at being thrown in the jail that she pulls out the knife she had hidden in her panties and stabs her booking nurse in the neck. "Granny" may not be that innocent. I am a nurse at a jail. I see "grannies" and "granpas" all the time who are violent and can cause staff bodily harm. So, search on. I don't want to be killed just for doing my job.

5. Granny's knife (or pearl pistol) likely won't

fit up in any of her girl parts for transport into the facility and most places...even my IRS building...has a metal detector. At least they only want to search my possessions. Have to remember not to wear an underwire bra, however.

The strip search is for concealed contraband of the powdered or leafy kind...the insanity of which has taken away our freedom to keep our clothes on.

In the article, it was a man for a traffic ticket that wasn't his. Not even suspicion that I could tell. Get arrested or just be in the wrong place at the wrong time or a computer foul up or whatever...get stripped and probed.

Insanity

6. Until you walk a mile in my jail house nursing shoes...

you will never know. I don't want anyone in a correctional facility to have access to any contraband. Leafy or shiny metal.

7. Do YOU get strip searched?

How do I know you are not smuggling in contraband? It's not like Corrections workers have never smuggled stuff into jail. Why should you be treated any different than someone arrested for a traffic warrant. It is only a traffic warrant after all.

8. I am searched occasionally, but I have never been booked into the jail.

Criminals use very smart ways to smuggle in contraband and one of those ways is from a fresh arrest. You lose most rights when booked in to a jail and it is for the safety and protection of the staff as well as other inmates. That is how it is and until you get rid of jails and prisons, that is how it will stay.

12. Interesting

So you want the Civil Liberties of Americans (hundreds of millions of them) reduced yet again so you'll feel safer.

OK, I get it.

[Hawkowl]

14. So, strip search all the OWS people?

Really? That is your solution? Shame on you.

15. Owing $15 on a parking ticket that blew off your car is enough to send you to jail.

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. I've gotten a few speeding tickets over the years, but I've never been arrested

How often are people arresting for just speeding?

[bongbong]

13. You'd be surprised

If you look cross-eyed at the cop, and/or he had a shitty day or just wants to throw his weight around, there are dozens of ways to get taken in for absolutely nothing.

11. Only if they put a warant out to arrest her for unpaid fines.
