America 2012: The Supreme Court Has Made It Legal For The Police To Strip Search You Any Time They Want

Last week the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police in the United States can strip search anyone that they arrest. It doesn't matter how minor the crime is and it doesn't matter if they suspect that you have contraband on you or not. The Supreme Court even said that you can be strip searched if you have been arrested for a traffic violation. Any type of arrest will do. Once you are arrested, if the police want to strip off your clothes and see you naked there is not a thing you can do about it. You can read the entire Supreme Court decision right here. Considering the fact that 13 million Americans are put in jail at some point each year, this is a very frightening thing. The notion that we are all "innocent until proven guilty" is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Thanks to the Supreme Court, it is now legal for the police to strip search you any time they want. All they have to do is find some excuse to arrest you. And considering the fact that almost everything is illegal in America, that is not hard to do. America continues to become a very dark place in 2012, and very few people are speaking up in defense of liberty and freedom.

But don't the police need probable cause before they search you? Aren't we protected against unreasonable searches by the U.S. Constitution? After all, the 4th Amendment says the following....

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Unfortunately, not even the Supreme Court seems to care much about the U.S. Constitution anymore.

As I have written about previously, in the "new America" you don't get any rights.

Instead, the government gives you a limited number of "privileges" that it can revoke at any time.

The story of the man that was at the heart of the Supreme Court case mentioned above demonstrates this. His name was Albert Florence and he was arrested for not paying a fine that he had already paid.

But the fact that he was innocent didn't seem to matter too much to the police. They held him in prison for six days and strip searched him twice. The following is how CNN described what Florence went through after his arrest....

Court records show Florence was subjected to an invasive strip and visual body-cavity search. He was then held for six days in the county lockup before being transferred to a Newark correctional facility, where, he claims, he was subjected to another more intrusive search before being placed in the general prison population.

"It was very disgusting. It was just a bad, bad experience," he told CNN's Kate Bolduan recently. "I was just told, 'Do as you're told.' Wash in this disgusting soap and obey the directions of the officer who was instructing me to turn around, lift my genitals up, turn around, and squat."

Are you upset when you read that?

You should be.

You see, this is how totalitarian governments act. Totalitarian regimes love to dehumanize and humiliate their "detainees" by stripping them naked.

So when we see this kind of behavior by authorities in the United States we should be very concerned.

And when we see the U.S. Supreme Court giving the stamp of approval to this kind of activity, we should be sounding the alarm.

At first, Americans were told that this kind of treatment would only happen to "prisoners of war" overseas.

But then came the "enhanced pat-downs" from the TSA.

Then we learned that the TSA was actually strip searching old women at our airports.

And now we discover that strip searching will be legal for every single person that is arrested in the entire nation.

What in the world is happening to us?

Some will argue that if you don't want to be strip searched that you should just avoid committing a crime.

Well, in 2012 almost everything is a crime in America.

In fact, if you are just walking down the street minding your own business or even if you are in your own home doing absolutely nothing the police could still probably arrest you because there are probably about 1000 things that you are not doing that you are supposed to be doing.

And you know what horny police officers all over America are going to be thinking when they hear of this Supreme Court decision.

They are going to be thinking that it is now open season for strip searching beautiful women.

There have already been hundreds of complaints that the TSA has been specifically targeting attractive women during airport security screenings.

Anyone that does not believe that police are going to do the exact same thing is being delusional.

In fact, we have already seen many examples of this around the country. As I wrote about a while back, one group of female pro-life demonstrators was recently strip searched by police twice. They didn't do anything wrong and they should have never been arrested, but that didn't prevent them from being strip searched in front of male police officers.

We have crossed a very dangerous line as a nation.

We have now gotten to the point where sexual humiliation is a standard law enforcement technique.

A recent article by Naomi Wolf detailed how the use of sexual humiliation as a control technique has been steadily increasing in our society in recent years....

Our surveillance state shown considerable determination to intrude on citizens sexually. There's the sexual abuse of prisoners at Bagram – der Spiegel reports that "former inmates report incidents of … various forms of sexual humiliation. In some cases, an interrogator would place his penis along the face of the detainee while he was being questioned. Other inmates were raped with sticks or threatened with anal sex". There was the stripping of Bradley Manning is solitary confinement. And there's the policy set up after the story of the "underwear bomber" to grope US travelers genitally or else force them to go through a machine – made by a company, Rapiscan, owned by terror profiteer and former DHA czar Michael Chertoff – with images so vivid that it has been called the "pornoscanner".

We have all been told that we must sacrifice personal dignity for the greater good.

We have all been told that "national security" trumps our liberties and our freedoms.

But the further we go down this road, the more we become like communist China, the USSR, North Korea and Nazi Germany.

In New York City, the police do not even need to arrest you in order to put their hands on you. Officials in New York have implemented a nightmarish "stop-and-frisk" policy. During 2011, there were 684,330 "stop and frisk" searches in New York City. Mayor Bloomberg contends that these unconstitutional searches are necessary to keep the city safe.

But even if you don't go outside you can still be stopped and frisked. Thousands of apartment buildings in New York have signed up for the "Clean Halls" program which allows police officers to freely roam the hallways of apartment buildings and stop anyone that they want for any reason.

The following is how a recent Rolling Stone article described this program....

According to the NYCLU, which filed the suit, "virtually every private apartment building [in the Bronx] is enrolled in the program," and "in Manhattan alone, there are at least 3,895 Clean Halls Buildings." Referring to the NYPD’s own data, the complaint says police conducted 240,000 "vertical patrols" in the year 2003 alone.

If you live in a Clean Halls building, you can’t even go out to take out the trash without carrying an ID – and even that might not be enough. If you go out for any reason, there may be police in the hallways, demanding that you explain yourself, and insisting, in brazenly illegal and unconstitutional fashion, on searches of your person.

Can you see where all of this is going?

We are rapidly becoming a society where there is absolutely no privacy left and where citizens are routinely dehumanized and humiliated.

If those in charge of protecting us cannot keep us safe and respect our liberties and our freedoms at the same time, then they should resign and give their jobs to someone else.

Many of the things that are being done in this nation right now in the name of "security" are absolutely shameful. Our leaders are turning their backs on what it means to be American, and millions of citizens all over the country should be howling in disgust.

Unfortunately, most people seem to be buying in to the "new America", and the U.S. Supreme Court has just given police departments all over the country the green light to strip search citizens any time they want.

Oh how far you have fallen America.

And, do they have brown uniforms yet?
Sounds like the f*cking SA to me.

Clearly if this is not overturned quickly, the levels of abuse will be horrific.

And you know what horny police officers all over America are going to be thinking when they hear of this Supreme Court decision.

They are going to be thinking that it is now open season for strip searching beautiful women.

Rather muted response.

Ladies???

Men with wives, girlfriends or daughters???

Wonder if any of the "Supremes" who voted for this have any "hot" daughters or grandaughters???

How many traumatized women (or men) will it take???

I'm persuaded that this lawsuit is crucial.....

Chris Hedges | Totalitarian Systems Always Begin by Rewriting the Law
Monday, 26 March 2012 09:06
By Chris Hedges, Truthdig | Op-Ed

....plaintiff in the lawsuit I have brought with others against President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta over the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), also known as the Homeland Battlefield Bill.....

The NDAA implodes our most cherished constitutional protections. It permits the military to function on U.S. soil as a civilian law enforcement agency. It authorizes the executive branch to order the military to selectively suspend due process and habeas corpus for citizens. The law can be used to detain people deemed threats to national security, including dissidents whose rights were once protected under the First Amendment, and hold them until what is termed "the end of the hostilities." Even the name itself—the Homeland Battlefield Bill—suggests the totalitarian concept that endless war has to be waged within "the homeland" against internal enemies as well as foreign enemies.......

.......... They make legal what was once illegal. Crimes become patriotic acts. The defense of freedom and truth becomes a crime. Foreign and domestic subjugation merges into the same brutal mechanism. Citizens are colonized. And it is always done in the name of national security. We obey the new laws as we obeyed the old laws, as if there was no difference. And we spend our energy and our lives appealing to a dead system.

When only 500,000,000 people still exist. Didn't you get the memo?

[Maia Gabrial]

How much longer do we have to endure this? So, now the Supreme Court is showing their true colors, too? To those with much responsibility, much is expected.... Looks like they're not so supreme either....

I don't think that this is just a matter of harassing pretty women as much as it's to degrade people.... All part of the agenda because America is next on the list....
Or I'm thinking this is this just another one of those made up stories by the zionists jews to get a rise out of people.... Could be a total lie....

Please DO something Americans. Say enough is enough. AND give Drake a hepling hand even if you don't believe him. The people that don't believe what Drake is doing, I ask, what the friggin hell do you believe IS happening? Get off your arses. God (and some say the ET's) only helps those who help themselves.

OK people, here is our chance to make GOOD use of Facebook and the like. Copy and paste this on your FB. Email it to every one on your email list. Make it viral, and do it NOW. And do it again next week, and the week after and again and again. This is NOT OK.

[jjjones]

the sheeple are grazing and sleeping, not looking up or waking up and are APATHETIC. we better shape up and get our heads out of our arses. danger is lurking on this country's heels and around the world. we better get a move on and work together in getting our voices heard. what is occurring in corporate states of america and throughout the world is pathetic and shameful. we better start questioning instead of just believing the dramatic diversion of the media. in the united corporate states of america it seems that "we the people" have been duped with insultingly weak reasons and excuses. our greatest danger to our future is Apathy. may a great awakening happen soon. namaste, love and peace universally

It has been about 5 hours since Calz posted this and only 6 Americans replied. hmm. I used to think that America would be the last country in the world where Fascism could flourish as you are allowed guns. I am very aware that if an American were to say the things I can say here you could be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay and never heard of again. Are you not even allowed to thank my post? I wish and hope that Drake and his white hats eventually do the business.

However, there is no doubt that pretty young women and teenager girls will become a priime target. Gosh, pretty ones will have to wear islamic dresses to hide within

Most Americans are apathetic & see this kind of issue as "it won't happen to me",

I have several guns and carry them often, I don't see it as empowering me to stand up to police however, I still get a bit nervous when pulled over (usually pulled over "fairly" for a law I infringed on, there are so many its impossible not to really...) there is a lot of "fear" reaction to police, not much self authority left here in the US, not on the surface anyway.

I hope that when things get too bad the right people will step up and lead the population back to its rightful place as sovereign citizens; but I fear that it will take a lot more infringement before that happens .


I still see this as a "free land" but thats mostly due to my "that wont happen to me" attitude.. the cold hard truth could be waiting at my house right now.

I think America is ready to implode. No wonder the president is in the state he is in, he knows he has lost his say. Frances.
