Jail is not suppose to be something of a pleasant setting and therefore these criminals should have something disturbing to think about. Although they still probably may not think about things like this when performing the crime. Criminals should have their rights as far as fair trial, but nonetheless the searches performed are only done to keep the safety within the jails in order for all criminals to get their fair judgements and not be found dead.Armen Karaoghlanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519625559927402092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733946128147346576.post-84843184863116626672012-04-30T12:09:49.251-07:002012-04-30T12:09:49.251-07:00I would generally agree with the court's rulin...I would generally agree with the court's ruling that it's not only the 4th amendment rights of the offender that they need to look at but the safety of society as a whole. If these offenders are in fact putting items in their private areas well then I guess someone needs to look there! I agree with Chunder though, who the hell wants to be the person executing this??? That's purely disturbing. Also, I'm all for the safety of the general public over a criminal's, criminals still should have basic human rights but guess what, if you want to engage in criminal actvity in any sort of way and get caught for it I don't think you should have all of the rights that the average person would have. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone who harms others or society to loose some rights. So maybe next time they'll think about what they're doing before they try to break the law. Yup, I have no heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733946128147346576.post-38655956291987318802012-04-30T03:09:52.854-07:002012-04-30T03:09:52.854-07:00It seems the Supreme Court is taking a clear stanc...It seems the Supreme Court is taking a clear stance on what rights those who are incarcerated forfeit upon arrest. Although I do not actually disagree with this specific decision because the reality within the prison environment is that inmates will go to drastic measures to smuggle items and therefore unfortunately must be routinely searched, the precedent the Supreme court is setting is worrisome. Pretty soon, any individual who is incarcerated will lose all civil liberties simply because they have been arrested. With a prison system bogged down by over crowding, poor resources, ingrained racism, and civil rights violations everywhere, giving prisons further control over inmate's rights is stripping the humanity from prisoners.5forfightenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830933622744736058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733946128147346576.post-59129710141367403642012-04-29T21:58:32.040-07:002012-04-29T21:58:32.040-07:00I think it's insane how much power those 9 peo...I think it's insane how much power those 9 people (mainly men) in the Supreme Court have. More and more excuses of national security, public security, personal safety are being used to negate the personal freedoms of individuals. I don't know where this trend of removing rights will lead, but I feel like it's not going in a good direction at all. Will the government soon enforce curfew laws for the sake of public safety? How are we letting these 9 people decide for the rest of the millions? It's preposterous.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340400867046164496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733946128147346576.post-63703831619216351262012-04-29T19:24:10.741-07:002012-04-29T19:24:10.741-07:00But the question here is this, does 1 person's...But the question here is this, does 1 person's rights outweigh the safety of the general public? That is the question that faced the US Supreme Court. I understand that it is humiliating and degrading to be stripped searched in public or in Jails, but when something bad happens like the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Then, who are the first to be blamed for the attack, the security workers there to insure the safety of airports and to keep terrorists out of the country. This ruling only seeks to keep americans safe so that they can exercise their freedoms.The Enlightened Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221261768777281794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733946128147346576.post-45796593527495200992012-04-23T10:46:20.553-07:002012-04-23T10:46:20.553-07:00What I find disturbing is that this is a trend.

"We're sorry, but we have to put invasive machines into your various cavities to ensure you're not hiding anything" since involuntary invasive probing of one's cavities is almost definitively rape. What I find more disturbing though is that these republican, conservative judges feel it's okay to IGNORE the constitution in favor for "safety of the public", completely forgetting the entire point of the constitution and the will of the founding fathers.

The thing I don't get it is... how enjoyable is it for the person performing the search to watch some naked dude squat and cough and spread his butt cheeks? If they are enjoying it, they shouldn't be the people working in law enforcement. <br /><br />And all of those offenses you mentioned that warranted a visual strip search. We're all guilty of those things everyday. Police are too. They are just indicators that you're a little lazy, not that you are a potentially dangerous criminal. This sort of law just seems like more work for our government and those who enforce it, why waste time and energy on something so trivial?<br /><br />-chunderThe Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18203840456007370637noreply@blogger.com
