When officers have some reason to believe that you may be carrying drugs, a weapon, or other contraband, they have “individualized reasonable suspicion.” This provides them with legal cause to strip search you even if you are not charged with a crime involving drugs, weapons, other contraband, or a violent felony. If there was some cause for your strip search that could be proven through jail records, you are not a member of the class.
