Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful searches and seizures A lawsuit that alleges excessive search procedures that's demanding answers and changes. The questions at the heart of the issue are what rights do people have in prison. What powers do officers have and when and where do parts of the Fourth Amendment. Which protects people from unlawful searches and seizures. Stop applying. Ask for an investigation into the latest incident in which a man claims in a lawsuit that he was forced to be stripped nude. Expose anal cavity, which included contact touching of the genitals by officer. Prison should not be an excuse (used as an excuse) to violate anybody's constitutional rights. Recent allegations brought against officers for extreme and illegal searches are deeply troubling and, if true, completely unacceptable. Individuals do not waive their constitutional or human rights simply because they choose to come to prison. Prison cannot be an excuse for sexual assault under the color of legal authority. Call for an investigation into the incident and into prison search and detention protocols. Constitutional limits exist so that the rights of humans are protected and the government does not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. TDCJ has responsibility to ensure that all persons in prison are treated humanely and in accordance with our laws. The lawsuit contends that an offender underwent inhumane full-body cavity search for no reason. TDCJ is acting without accountability right now. They are doing whatever they deem necessary in their pursuit for contraband. This is a clear example of that. This was not constitutional or necessary to subject someone to this many searches culminating in a cavity search. This should be a clear indication that [illegible] has gone to far. The lawsuit claims no search warrant/probable cause was issued. No doubt your rights are different in prison, but that does not mean you have no rights. Ask for changes to TDCJ regulations, which diminishes the rights inmates have in prison. It is not a constitution free-zone. But you do have diminished rights in prison. It does not mean you have no rights and this lawsuit is a clear case that the Federal government exceeded protections granted under the Fourth Amendment.
