What are they going to do, make them pee in public on the side of the road?
I'll remind you that cavity searches are just something we accept the authorities will do to suspects (let alone the convicted) as a matter of routine.
By comparison, a roadside pregnancy test seems pretty mild.
You're ignoring probable cause to stop or search. And the 14th Amendment. And the Interstate Commerce clause in the US Constitution. And repeated SCOTUS rulings affirming the free right to jnterstate travel for all US citizens.
None of which is going to matter when you're in the situation in the moment.
They'll claim driving toward the border constitutes probable cause, and the Federalist Society will make agreement with that a litmus test for their seal of approval. Since the Republican governor won't appoint any judge not on the Federalist Society list ... checkmate.
I don't think cavity searches are as common as you are implying.
Two of you have turned up to say it's not really a big deal, not appreciating the irony that you're proving my point.
Yeah, mainly for entering prison. I can't think of a time I have ever heard of someone getting cavity searched randomly as a suspect, but I am sure there are outlier cases. Which we can probably get rid of due to improved technology, but I guess it could be understandable back in the day. I'm not to familiar with the prison smuggling scene but I imagine introducing cavity searches improved safety factors
I haven't heard of many, but I did hear of one done to a woman on the side of the highway.
Oh I'm sure they have happened, I wasn't trying to dismiss that. I just felt it was building opinions and stances off of outliers
Yeah, that's probably true.
