People on parole are subject to search terms, which means the police can search their person, property or residence without probable cause.

However, the search must not be used to harass the parolee. A strip search in a public place might be considered harassing.

Unfortunately, you didn't provide any additional information, so I can't offer any meaningful suggestions on what you might want to do with this information..

Please understand that this is a general discussion of legal principles by a California lawyer and does not create an attorney/client relationship. It's impossible to give detailed, accurate advice based on a few sentences on a website (and you shouldn't provide too much specific information about your legal matter on a public forum like Avvo, anyway). You should always seek advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who can give you an informed opinion after reviewing all of the relevant information.

You very well may have claim, i would suggest speaking to an attorney in your immediate area ASAP, as all civil matters have strict deadlines by which they must be filed
