The nude strip search...yeah, theres the potential for a lot wrong. But many people are treated way worse in jail and no one has cared yet.

I think your problem with these rook, is that you are looking at the situations as a decent human being.

What you should realize is that police spend every day not dealing with decent human beings, but with the scum of our society. That means, that when they encounter resistance with simple requests (Give me you license and insurance, Go to the back of your car and place your hands on the trunk) they deal with the resistor the same be it a guy on the way to the mall or a junkie. We'll see what happens with that strip search case, as I'm not sure the exact laws on search. I'll bet that video with the person being pulled over and tased amounts to nothing.

The bottom line is, the law is usually there to protect the enforcers and usually they don't enforce the full extent unless you give them a reason.

Both times I was searched in jail it was because I had a possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia charge. I could have resisted the search and been a pain and screamed over and over WHY ARE YOU DOIN THIS?!?!! but I didn't. I walked into the other room. The first time he explained it to me, the second time he just said "you know the drill". I dropped my pants, dropped my boxers, bent over and spread my ass cheeks. I could have had shit hidden, but because I didn't fight them they didn't do a full strip down of my person. Only pats and an ass crack search.

Once you're in the system you're in their hands, you cease being a decent citizen and human being. You have to understand that. Some situations are unfortunate, but if you treat everyone like that suddenly there are a LOT of problems.

A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers.

This bracelet would:

• take the place of an airline boarding pass

• contain personal information about the traveler

• be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage

• shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes
