Law Limits Strip Searches for Misdemeanor Suspects
In Columbus a state senator notes a new law taking effect that bans strip searches of people arrested on misdemeanor or traffic charges unless specific conditions apply. Gloria Fauss, 35, of Columbus, was strip searched in Cincinnati while registering voters in a welfare office, prompting discussion of Senate Bill 268 and related crime victims rights measures. The package also allows damages suits for strip searches, extends civil action windows, requires victim notification of hearings, protects victim attendance at pardons, bars profiting from crimes, shields subpoenaed workers, creates a new witness intimidation offense, and tightens penalties.
