strip search of 16 yr ol daughter

[stevebm29]

My 16 year old daughter and her female friend were cought shop lifting at JC Pennys ,They were strip searched by male security.Is this legal? Do we have any type of legal repercussion against them?

In North America, civil lawsuits, as well as criminal code changes against strip searches have usually been successful when a person is strip-searched by someone of the opposite sex, especially in cases where a woman has been strip-searched by a male guard or guards.

I would say there are plenty of attorneys that would be willing to take the case if the quote is indeed accurate.
