Not so fast, friend. We've had the very same policy for many years. Every prisoner who enters a jail is strip searched, regardless of the crime or potential length of stay.

For the most part, a minor crime doesn't result in you going to a proper jail, as you'll either be released on your own recognizance or held at the police station overnight to await your bail/show cause hearing the next day. If you do make it to a proper jail, however, you will be strip searched regardless of your offense or length of stay.

IANAL, but I have unfortunately had first-hand experience.

For somebody who lives in Australia, you sure are ignorant of your own situation.

Despite living in a country with an abundance of sun, about 30 per cent of Australians are thought to be vitamin D deficient by the end of summer. The figure rises to 40 per cent by winter's end in the southern states."

What Happens To Your Files When a Cloud Service Shuts Down? 592

MrSeb writes "Megaupload's shutdown poses an interesting question: What happens to all the files that were stored on the servers? XDA-Developers, for example, has more than 200,000 links to Megaupload — and this morning, they're all broken, with very little hope of them returning. What happens if a similar service, like Dropbox, gets shut down — either through bankruptcy, or federal take-down? Will you be given a chance to download your files, or helped to migrate them to another similar service? What about data stored on enterprise services like Azure or AWS — are they more safe?" And if you're interested, the full indictment against Megaupload is now available.
