1. “The testimony from the suppression hearing in the case sub judice , viewed in the light most favorable to the State, does not indicate that the officers made any attempt to protect Paulino's privacy interests. The search was conducted in the very place in which he was arrested, a car wash. Similarly, there is no indication in the record before us that the police made any attempt to limit the public's access to the car wash or took any similar precaution that would limit the ability of the public or any casual observer from viewing the search of Paulino.”

3. “[t]he type of search that Paulino was subjected to, and other searches that "entail[ ] the inspection of the anal and/or genital areas have been accurately described as demeaning, dehumanizing, undignified, humiliating, embarrassing, repulsive, degrading, and extremely intrusive of one's personal privacy."”
