 In N.G. & S.G. ex rel . S.C. v. Connecticut ( 2004 ) , Sotomayor dissented from her colleagues ’ decision to uphold a series of strip searches of " troubled adolescent girls " in juvenile detention centers . While Sotomayor agreed that some of the strip searches at issue in the case were lawful , she would have held that due to " the severely intrusive nature of strip searches " , they should not be allowed " in the absence of individualized suspicion , of adolescents who have never been charged with a crime " . She argued that an " individualized suspicion " rule was more consistent with Second Circuit precedent than the majority 's rule .
