Settlement reached in lawsuit against Maine jail
March 10, 2009
PORTLAND, Maine—A 41-year-old Thomaston woman has settled her lawsuit over an illegal strip search at the Knox County Jail for $290,000.
Laurie Tardiff originally filed a lawsuit in 2002 after being strip-searched at the Knox County Jail following her arrest for tampering with a witness, a charge that was later dismissed. She then pulled out of the class-action suit and filed another complaint on her own.

The story above was more of a civil case prior to the AG's Office handing out new advise on how to go about searches. It was a procedural Boo Boo and not so much a crime.
This story is a crime;
