"Southampton woman's strip-search case gets trial"

"Southampton woman's strip-search case gets trial": Today's issue of Newsday contains an article that begins, "A federal appellate court Wednesday ordered that a trial be held to determine if Southampton Village police violated the civil rights of a woman by strip-searching her in a cell that contained a video camera. Stacey Hartline, then 21, sued the village and four police officers for $1 million in 2003 after she was strip-searched, following a misdemeanor arrest for marijuana possession. The charges were eventually dismissed."

And The Associated Press provides a report headlined "Appeals court: Search violated NY woman's rights."
