From the news:
""The sheriff believes that everything that occurred here has been of the appropriate protocol and police,"" said Sgt. Chuck Mulligan.
=====
The lawsuit claims after Boses, Wedemyer and Melton were arrested, they were taken to the county jail and forced to disrobe before correctional officers and had to put on jail uniforms.
=====
The lawsuit states that was unconstitutional. However, sheriff's office officials said they disagree.
=====
""What was conducted was a clothing exchange. It's a process where someone does have to shower, but there are mechanisms in place to provide for their privacy. The allegations are that we conducted a strip search. Quite simply, for us a strip search by policy and by definition means that those young ladies would have been removed from the jail and taken to the hospital for an examination,"" Mulligan said.
==================================
For the sheriff's information the courts have already said that ""clothing exchanges"" & ""showers"" DO constitute a strip search, since jails are using these to bypass constitutional protections.
===================================
These girls were ""charged"" with only a misdemeanor. They should have been let go IMMEDIATELY on their own recognizance.
Plus the fact they were arrested with NO evidence, their breathalyzer showed ZERO, and charges were dropped.
=====================================
Better stay away until the get a new sheriff that can read the Bill Of Rights!!!
Pros: You can get rich in a lawsuit
Cons: You have to be scarred for the rest of your life
