Criteria for Strip and Cavity Search Met

The Third Department determined the circumstances justified a strip search and a visual cavity search of the defendant. The court explained the relevant criteria:

…[T]he principles governing strip searches and body cavity examinations are set forth in People v Hall (10 NY3d 303 [2008], cert denied 555 US 938 [2008]). Insofar as is relevant here, “a strip search must be founded on a reasonable suspicion that the arrestee is concealing evidence underneath clothing and the search must be conducted in a reasonable manner. To advance to . . . a visual cavity inspection, the police must have a specific, articulable factual basis supporting a reasonable suspicion to believe the arrestee [has] secreted evidence inside a body cavity and the [ensuing] visual inspection must be conducted reasonably” … . Although the police cannot routinely subject all drug arrestees to visual cavity inspections, the police are permitted — in the context of formulating the particularized factual basis required for such inspections — “to draw on their own experience and specialized training to make inferences from and deductions about the cumulative information available to them that might well elude an untrained person”… . People v Cogdell, 2015 NY Slip Op 106031, 3rd Dept 3-12-15
