When a full body search is lawful, police might still be found to have gone too far. This area of law is still being shaped. What limits do you think should be placed on these searches? Do you think your standard adequately reflects the need for effective law enforcement to be balanced with individual rights? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
There are no clear-cut standards for a full body search, despite the significant intrusion into the reasonable expectation of privacy implicit in this procedure. State courts have not always been willing to conduct full-body searches for all offenses and have found some unreasonable. When the offense is petty, such as a traffic offense or other offenses routinely handled by citation rather than formal booking, some courts have held that police cannot conduct full-body searches. The student should demonstrate a sensitivity to the intrusion and the need to allow for effective law enforcement.
