According to opinions in the lower courts, people may be strip-searched after arrests for violating a leash law, driving without a license and failing to pay child support. Citing examples from briefs submitted to the Supreme Court, Justice Breyer wrote that people have been subjected to “the humiliation of a visual strip-search” after being arrested for driving with a noisy muffler, failing to use a turn signal and riding a bicycle without an audible bell.

While a strip search could be considered an invasion of "personal" privacy, the topics in this Privacy Forum section should be related to "computer security" privacy, and before this thread goes astray, we'll close this one. Thanks!
