Supreme Court signs off on strip searches for all arrestees

I haven't seen this posted anywhere on SOTT yet. The US Supreme Court voted 5-4 Monday in favor of allowing Law Enforcement Agencies to strip search anybody that is arrested or detained for any offense. This is from the article:

Monday's decision sprang from the 2005 arrest of New Jersey resident Albert Florence. Florence was arrested after an officer pulled over his wife for speeding, only to discover that he had a warrant for an unpaid fine. After spending seven days in two different jails, being strip searched upon admittance at both, he was released after officials figured out that he’d already paid the fine.

There are some interesting things in the court's opinion section too, such as this little tidbit:

In Atwater v. Lago Vista, 532 U. S. 318, 323?324 (2001),for example, police arrested a mother driving with her two children because their seat belts were not buckled. This Court held that the Constitution did not forbid an arrest for a minor seatbelt offense. Id., at 323. But, in doing so, it pointed out that the woman was held for only an hour(before being taken to a magistrate and released on bond) and that the search?she had to remove her shoes, jewelry, and the contents of her pockets, id., at 355?was not unusually harmful to [her] privacy or . . . physical interests.’” Id., at 354 (quoting Whren v. United States, 517 U. S. 806, 818 (1996)). Would this Court have upheld the arrest had the magistrate not been immediately available,had the police housed her overnight in the jail, and had they subjected her to a search of the kind at issue here?

So apparently even minor offenses such as not wearing a seatbelt can be subject to strip search and it's all legal.

This is from another article I linked:

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.

A nun was strip-searched, he wrote, after an arrest for trespassing during an antiwar demonstration.

Justice Kennedy responded that “people detained for minor offenses can turn out to be the most devious and dangerous criminals.” He noted that Timothy McVeigh, later put to death for his role in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, was first arrested for driving without a license plate. “One of the terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks was stopped and ticketed for speeding just two days before hijacking Flight 93,” Justice Kennedy added.

They had to get that whole 9-11 angle in there.

Yeah, kinda of creepy, as anyone is guilty until proven innocent. It was they other way around at one time. But this is an ire movement as if now, we live in "Bizarro World", where right is wrong, and wrong is right.

This switch has a magical quality to cross wire the brains ability to reason, be analytical, and maintain logic. When they place a lie as the truth, as means of conditioning the masses in a constant state of confusion, to keep one from connecting the dots to the bigger picture. This type of reasoning is a situation that is rampet within the infrastructure of the psychotic world powers.

It is a shell game, without the pea underneath any of the shell's. A no win situation if one plays there game.

And again the mental hearding of the population through conditioning.

Innocent Until Proven Guilty
http://www.selfincrimination.org/innocentuntilprovenguilty.html
You don’t have to be a lawyer to have heard the term “innocent until proven guilty.” A fundamental concept in the United States justice system, the expression was first used in the Bill of Rights to ensure all citizens receive a fair trial if they are ever charged with a crime, a principle known as due process of law.
As the founders of the United States realized, the rights of the accused must be protected if we want to maintain a functioning democratic society and prevent the government from abusing its authority. Therefore, the Constitution grants protections for citizens if they are accused of a crime and details the requirements that must be met before you can be convicted of that crime. Your innocence is assumed until these conditions are met. In other words, you are innocent until proven guilty.

It is very important for you to know your rights if you are ever charged with a crime. You have the right to obtain legal representation and, if you are questioned, you have the right to remain silent until you have spoken with an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, your rights also guarantee that one will be appointed to you by the government. In addition, you have the right to know the charges against you.

Once you are notified of your charges, the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution protects you from self-incrimination, which allows you to refuse to testify during your trial. You may also confront any witnesses who are testifying against you and collect your own witnesses and evidence.

Your rights also protect you from unreasonable search and seizure—meaning the government must have a search warrant in order to search your private property. If evidence was collected illegally, it cannot be used against you in court.

Finally, you have the right to be tried by a jury of your peers if you desire. Individuals who are charged with serious crimes also must be indicted by a grand jury before their case goes before the court.

Because you are innocent until proven guilty, the prosecution must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In other words, once all of the evidence against you is considered, no reasonable person should be able to question your guilt—otherwise, you cannot be found guilty. You also cannot be charged with the same crime twice.

If you are facing criminal charges, make sure you obtain the legal counsel you are entitled to. An experienced criminal defense attorney will see to it that your rights are not violated and ensure you get a fair trial. Remember, you are innocent until proven guilty, and it is important that you are treated as such.

TRUTH AND JUSTICE
The last of the great Superman villains is that misshapen duplicate of Superman, Bizarro. The first Bizarro appearance came in 1958 in the pages of SUPERBOY #68, in which a local Smallville inventor creates a duplicator ray, which doesn�t quite work so well � everything it duplicates is flawed and imperfect. When the ray is accidentally trained on Superboy, it explodes and creates the first Bizarro, a chalk-white, jagged-featured doofus with an extremely low I.Q., and all the powers of Superboy.

It's more than just the protection of innocent until proven guilty being destroyed. They are also obliterating the 4th Amendment protecting against unreasonable search and seizures. Not that those protections meant much before now, but it's going official.
