The case centers on Raya Meredith, the lead plaintiff who endured a traumatic 2018 search while postpartum, and now the state is appealing both the legal interpretation and the aggravated damages awarded to her. Despite admitting last year Meredith’s search was unlawful, the government insists police can use “reasonable force” to assist visual inspections — a stance the court is now weighing against the previous ruling, with the fate of over 6,000 festival-goers hanging in the balance.
