The Contra Costa county sheriff department is involved in unconstitutional blanket strip searchs where there Policy is a blanket search of all inmates and does a visual cavity search without reason articulate suspicious that a crime has been commiting or that the inmate is involved in smuggling contra band into the jail the court concluded that the blanket policy of strip searching everyone that was brought in on a “fresh drug” charge was unconstitutional. Throughout the court’s analysis it was clear that no strip search at booking would be justified for institutional security purposes unless there was reasonable suspicion to believe that the person searched was concealing weapons or contraband. In this case, the court concluded that the misdemeanor charge of being under the influence of drugs was insufficient to support reasonable suspicion to believe that the suspect was concealing additional drugs.
