Compromise amendment offered on strip search bill
Linn County Sheriff Orlie Workman and fellow Iowa sheriffs proposed an amendment to State Rep. Robert M. L. Johnsons strip search bill during a 24 hour Des Moines meeting. The plan would allow searches for those arrested on traffic charges only after bond posting or a court promise, with further searches if these are not met. The group cited health and safety concerns in jails and noted a 1979 Supreme Court ruling permitting traffic charge strip searches.
