Hey, did you get his phone number

What officers thought was a counterfeit $50 bill turned out to be an old, legitimate bill, but the truth wasn't discovered until a man was mistakenly charged and jailed Friday.

A clerk at Quik Mart, South Cannon Boulevard, notified police after the marker used to detect counterfeit bills didn't check as real.

"The front side of the bill was off center and it didn't feel like a normal bill, it did look to be counterfeit," officer Brock Horner said in his report.

No mention of a strip search.

Jailers may perform invasive strip searches on people arrested even for minor offenses, an ideologically divided Supreme Court ruled Monday, the conservative majority declaring that security trumps privacy in an often dangerous environment

  1. From: www.conservativedailynews.com, one of the tenets of conservatism is that "they unanimously value “the human person” as the center of political and social thought."

    I don't think we can call the judges who voted for unjustified strip searches as "conservative" anymore.

    Note also that this says the "human" person, not the "corporate" person!
