Yay! An actual debate! Kudos; you restore my faith (a bit) in this place. I won't get into it, just wanted to thank you; personally and say I think it's disgusting, there SHOULD be another way for people who are picked up for minor infractions or whose arrest might be doubtful. And given he had offered proof that he wasn't "arrestable", he should have been put in such a cell/place until they checked it out. This is the sort of thing someone should take up as a cause, at least locally, and worked on changing. A local legislator or someone should be contacted and efforts made to change the system. I know, "good luck"! But it's the only way we get stuff like this changed.
As for SCOTUS?
They're hopeless!
(hey hey hey, I made a rhyme!)

I agree that he should not have been arrested, nor should he have been taken to a jail a held for six days. This was a massive failure on the part of the police.
Safety is a concern in jails and prisons. If for no other reason to avoid costly lawsuits brought about my families of people killed. In the end having to strip naked and lift your genitals is still better then being knifed or beaten by someone who has gotten high on drugs.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Or even ticketed - case in point.

Either the rules apply to EVERYONE, or they apply to NO ONE.
Anything less is a tyranny, however minor.

Yet another reason to NEVER "pay a speeding ticket" -- which is (usually) PLEADING GUILTY TO A CRIME...
