The supreme court ruled in a five to four vote that officials may strip search people arrested for any offense, however minor, even if the official's have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband.

Now law enforcement has another punishment they can use without due process.

The fourth amendment is, of course, merely a guideline.

While this, in theory, only applies to people arrested and placed in the general jail population, I suspect "general jail population" might be creatively applied by unscrupulous officials.

Talking out of turn? That's a strip search.
Looking out the window? That's a strip search.
Staring at my sandals? That's a strip search.
Paddling the school canoe? Ooh, you better believe that's a strip search.

When the Supreme Court begins to base its decisions solely along party lines as with the House and Senate, our country is nearly irrevocably broken.

Charlie Don't Surf, I've had a question rummaging around in my head. Help me answer it.

If you believe that the News is all about agenda and lying, you're smart enough to know that movies/television shows are fake, and have no personal first hand experience on the subject: How exactly do you "know" that the Police are a "Corrupt Organization" out to oppress minorities and cover up the "truth"?

Of all the affronts to liberty that the American government is currently visiting upon the people, this is easily the hottest.

fox news and cnn and msnbc are all about ratings

I don't have the mental energy to get into it, to slightly derail this thread, I've felt like shit lately and life's too short to post here so I'm probably gonna delete the bookmark and leave y'all alone for a while since I am not really up for posting anything of any worth

So what you're saying is that you listen to the news and pick and choose what to believe based on what supports your own opinions but ignore what doesn't and call it "lying"?

You. Door. There it is. Don't let it hit you on the ass. It might bruise that special snowflake.

So someone finally asked you to explain your position instead of making fun of you (HINT: you deserve the latter) and you run away?

Shego, I wish I could buy you a drink. And I wish someone had thought of doing that long ago.

You guys are harsh on ol' Chuck. I think he goes a little overboard on the white-knighting but is otherwise a decent poster and guy.

I disagree, Dave. After the massive happy-dance he did on the news of Joe Paterno's cancer diagnosis, I lost any use for the expletive deleted. That is not something a decent poster or human being would do.

I agree. He at least makes it a bit interesting around here some times.

Ignoring the Charlie-persecution for a second , I want to emphasize that this only applies to any jailable offense - so you're not going to get strip-searched for making your dog poop in an area he's not supposed to. (Although it must be noted I don't know if this is a thing in the US)

Doesn't make it any less awful, just not quite as awful as it would be if it were applicable to every offense in the US lawbook.

When I think of the EA logo I think of the early 90s of Sports games and I hear that voice in my head everytime......

"E..... A..... Sports..... It's in the game!"

I want to take an image of Thomas the Tank Engine and photoshop one of Charlie's avatars as the face.

I think that'd be swell.

Seriously though I can't believe Capcom beat them at their own game. Characters already on the disk, unlockable only through later purchased "dlc"? Why? Because fuck gamers. That's why.
