US supreme court justice Samuel Alito once argued in a case that police officers did not violate the constitution when they strip searched a 10-year-old girl and her mother despite the fact that neither were criminal suspects nor named in any search warrant

Alito is just a piece of shit.
The article is rather badly written, but I do see a point there. If children never get searched, they will be the drug mules of choice without a second thought

That has to be the dumbest shit I ever heard, you can easily search someone for drugs without them stripping. I assume they were looking for kilos which can easily be found on a person by a basic padding that takes 10 seconds
In any free world everyone, regardless of the charges, every person is considered innocent until proven guilty. Every person is also entitled to an attorney.
Without further context I can’t see an issue here. This poorly written piece of sourceless text makes a lot of heavy judgements based on two quotes that say 1. The search conducted was legal according to the warrant and 2. That searching children is not part of the fourth amendment, and that he believes were searches made illegal it would endanger children.

I truly don’t understand the outrage.
Warrant said to include everyone in the residence.
And judge Alito made a reasonable case that minors can not be exempted since they’d otherwise become the de facto mules – hell, the drug dealers would probably shove their orifices full of drug packets if they knew that kids were immune to strip searching.
I don’t know who this Alito is, but it all seems pretty reasonable to me.
Worded another way you could say that: democrats support using minors as drug mules. Do you really want a 10 year old running around with drugs in their pocket that only their daddy in jail knows about? They had a search warrant that said they could search the individuals in the house I don’t see what the constitutional problem is, minors are used all the time to commit crimes. I don’t see a problem as long as there was a basis for the warrant in the first place and the search was conducted to a good standard(parent or guardian present, same sex well trained searcher)
Hate to say it, but he’s right
The Italian mafia famously exploits the legal privileges of minors to get away with stuff. Sometimes to protect minors you have to treat them like adults. If they can get away with murder someone might coerce them to do murder.
Was it done by men or female police officers, that’s the important question here. Also, depends on how far they had to strip.
