IS MESSAGE TO HIDE STASH WHERE SUN DON'T SHINE?

The Sept. 6 News & Record described the overturn by the Court of
Appeals of a conviction for cocaine possession because of
"unreasonable search and seizure."

The Court of Appeals objected to the police including in their search
the shining of a flashlight into the underwear of a suspect where
they found a hidden bottle of crack cocaine.

Really? Does that mean that anyone suspected of trafficking can hide
their stash in their underwear and escape arrest? Lots of criminals
must be gleeful at this news.

What are the police expected to do? The court's message seems to be
to hide your contraband in your underwear and get a free pass.
