Description

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge: Lynda Watt was subjected to a strip search incident to her arrest for failure to license her dog in the City of Richardson, Texas. Understandably outraged by this incident, she filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and recovered damages against the city. The district court concluded that a portion of the city's policy governing the conduct of visual strip searches violated the fourth amendment on its face and as applied to Watt. On appeal, the City of Richardson challenges only the district court's finding that the search was constitutionally invalid. We affirm the judgment, because a strip search was unconstitutional under the facts here presented, but we do not invalidate the city's policy.1
