Does requiring an arrestee to expose only his or her undergarments tend to lead to a strip search?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Edgerly v. City And County Of San Fran, 599 F.3d 946 (9th Cir. 2007):

Similarly, we have held in the border search context that requiring an arrestee to expose only his or her undergarments "tend[s] toward [a] strip search in that if conducted in public it can be said to result in embarrassment to one of reasonable sensibilities." United Stales v. Palmer, 575 F.2d 721, 723 (9th Cir.1978). We further held that, although it is "hardly feasible to enunciate a clear and simple standard for each possible degree of intrusiveness, " such a search re quires "suspicion... founded on facts specifically relating to the person to be searched, and[thal] the search [be] no more intrusive than necessary to obtain the truth respecting the suspicious circumstances." Id.
