re: #105 Uncle Obdicut

This one points out how overly common and often unnecessary strip searches are. Where did they think she hid that paperwork? //

Out of policy strip search=punishment without a trial.
Remember the egregious repeated strip search incident recently that was pointed out here? It blew over pretty fast. As I see it- If she was strip searched within a policy like what I quoted above, I’ll admit getting it wrong.

As far as her charges and trial go, I await a result and the evidence. I’m not looking for special treatment either way.

Another reason this is getting so much play (maybe wrongly) is LASD is accused of mishandling a diplomat in the recent arrest of deputies by FBI. We also have that video about the traveler who will never return to the US. So the media is “on the scent” as they say.

Let’s see what happens here. it might be another case of an unsavory person illustrating/uncovering a genuine problem. The kind we are better off fixing than ignoring given the status of the victims.
