NO JUSTIFICATION FOR A STRIP SEARCH, EVIDENCE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSED.

The Fourth Department determined there were insufficient grounds for a strip search and defendant’s motion to suppress the drugs seized from his person should have been granted:

… [T]he search performed by the officer constituted a strip search … , which must be justified by “a reasonable suspicion that the arrestee is concealing evidence underneath clothing” … . We conclude that the officer did not have the requisite reasonable suspicion. Defendant was fully cooperative with the officer, admitting his possession of marihuana and denying possession of any other contraband. There was no indication that defendant might be concealing any contraband under his clothing, and the mere fact that he possessed marihuana does not justify a strip search. Although the People assert that the search was justified because defendant appeared to be nervous about being searched, the record reflects that defendant became nervous only after the officer began to perform the strip search … . People v Tisdale, 2016 NY Slip Op 04842, 4th Dept 6-17-16
