DQ 1 Suspicion-less Strip Searches. In 2012 the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, upheld the constitutionality of routine (without probable cause) strip searches of persons arrested and detained, even briefly, in a jail (Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of the Country of Burlington). Respond to this 3-part question in your initial post:

Explain the rationale of the Supreme Court’s decision in Florence (the majority opinion by Justice Kennedy).

Explain the rationale of Justice Breyer’s dissenting opinion.

Evaluate both the majority and minority rationales. Explain and justify your evaluation by drawing on 
prior Supreme Court interpretations of the 4th Amendment’s prohibition of “unreasonable searches” from the required textbook.
