A
“represent a significant invasion of privacy and are often humiliating, degrading or traumatic” and therefore require a “higher degree of justification in order to support the higher degree of interference with individual freedom and dignity” The mere fact that portions of a person’s body normally covered by undergarments are exposed because of the way the person was dressed when taken into custody does not constitute a strip search, if the removal of such clothing was not caused by the police - the rearrangement of clothing that permits a visual inspection of a person’s private area does constitute a strip search.
