Wayne State University Law Professor Robert A. Sedler commented on a federal case where a judge has ruled that stripping some unruly pre-arraignment detainees during the arrest process is illegal and "degrading." The American Civil Liberties Union officially took up the plaintiffs' cause in Bay City, Mich. \"When I see these constitutional violations, I strongly suspect they never asked their lawyers,\" Sedler said. \"The county would have said, \'Uh-uh.\' \" In an updated Web version of the story Sedler called the prisoner stripping practice \"stupid and unnecessary.\"
