Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania
While at a friends house, the police raided it looking for drugs. I was put in cuffs along with the others at the house and detained. One by one we were sent to the bathroom of the house and a police officer performed a strip search and body cavity search. This all took place at the house. I was not arrested or taken anywhere. I feel this was done illegally and that my rights were violated. It it legal for police to do this?

What you describe could have been legal, depending upon the information available to the police at the time and other factors which you have not described. That's the best I can do with the information you have provided.
