Strip Searches?

Question

Personally i do not find the fact undressing in front of a bunch of strangers that i do know now. I find this strip search a pure violation of my privacy and no one can change my mind on that. But if a minorty goes to jail in a all white community can that minorty request that a minorty officer do the strip search then a white officer

for the record im not going to jail this is just a general question.

ALSO LIKE I FREAKIN SAID I DIDN"T AND AM NOT GOING TO JAIL ITS JUST A GENERAL QUESTION, AND POLICE OFFICERS OUT THERE THAT ARE ANSWERING BEING A *** GO **** YOURSELF> CUZ SERIOSLY AND AS FOR A RACIST IM NOT IM HALF BLACK AND HALF WHITE I GREW UP BEING HATED FOR BEING BLACK AND U KNOW WHAT ELSE I GREW UP IN A ALL WHITE COMMUNITY I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST ANY RACE ITS JUST A FREAKIN QUESTION

Answer 1

No, you can't request someone of a different race.
You will be searched by someone of the same gender, but the booking area is just too busy to be hunting down someone PC enough to suit you for a strip search.
As someone already said, if you don't want to be strip searched, stay out of trouble.

Answer 2

It's a necessary evil - The fact remains, would you rather get shot, blown up, stabbed, etc, or have to be naked in front of some people for a little while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not all caught up in this terrorism crap, but I can understand the concept of the strip search. A majority of the time, if your not doing anything wrong, there's no need to worry.
As far as requesting officers, I don't think you can do such on a racial basis, however I wouldn't be surprised if you can ask that It's not preformed by a woman. Don't quote me on that though.
Basically, if you've got yourself into some situation where you can be strip searched at the drop of a pin - like jail - good luck.

Answer 3

Doesn't the junk all look the same in black or white?

By continuing to draw these distinctions, I think we are further separating the races, not unifying and accepting eachother. Next thing you're going to be telling me that I have a right to a woman doing the search--and that's just wrong. I'd rather have a man look at my (and my surgeon's) hard work. If I get to choose, he should also be about 6'6", tan and with a slight australian accent.

Sorry, what was the point?

Answer 4

When being booked into jail, you can request a lot of things but the jailer is NOT in the habit of granting any request that is not required by law & department policy. I am not being a smarta$$ cause I am sure you understand jail is not a hotel where people wait on you.
I do wonder what difference it makes as to the person's race when all they really want is to see if you are hiding contraband in your personal places. A person of any race can do that job just as well as the next.

Answer 5

I'm sure you can request it. The question however would be is if you get it. In the office I work for, we have 1 minority officer. You may just not have a choice. I really think the only thing that matters in the strip search is male or female.

Answer 6

You can certainly request it. You would not get it however.
The only consideration any where near this is that male searches male and female to female.
Due to equal employeement laws and rights your request WOULD NOT be granted in any law abiding jail/ prison.

Not being a smart a** just the plain basic truth.

Pluto, get back in your time machine and go back 3 hundred years. Oh by the way, you don't touch the inmate/ offender in strip searches. It's all a visual check of the epidermis and orifices. Medical would do the full cavity searches.

Answer 7

Ok you have a good question so here is a good answer. No. simple enough yes? I say no because there might not be a minority officer on duty. Say you go to an all black jail and your white? you think you can ask for a white officer. Nope. You just have to grin and bear it.. no pun intended. Oh and for the record... that's not the best part for us either bubba.

Answer 8

No the only time they change officers in a search is if you an the officer may fight each other (you may resist) that officer. As far as a black officer searching a black suspect because the person doesn't want a white person touching them it doesn't happen.

Answer 9

Unfortunately regarding your question, as long as it is a female doing the strip search on another female, your race or the race of the officer is not a subject of debate.

I know this is not the answer you wanted to hear, but I consulted with a probation officer prior to this post. Because of Title VII of the 1964 equality act, a female of any race can perform the strip search of any race; yet as you know no male officer can do this.

Answer 10

You want to ask for a minority instead of a white person to do the strip search?? Whos the Racist now??? In plain english- Don't do the Crime- You won't be bare-assed in front of the Police or Correctional Officers. Get It? Got it? GOOD!
