The following excerpt is from Lopez v. Youngblood, Case No. CV-F-07-0474 DLB (E.D. Cal. 2011):
The issues involved in this case involve complex issues of constitutional law in an area where considerable deference is given to jail officials. See Way v. County of Ventura, 445 F.3d 1157, 1161 (9th Cir. 2006) ("We recognize the difficulty of operating a detention facility safely, the seriousness of the risk of smuggled weapons and contraband, and the deference we owe jail officials' exercise of judgment in adopting and executing policies necessary to maintain institutional security."); Craft v. County of San Bernardino, 468 F.Supp.2d 1172, 1176 (C.D. Cal. 2006) (quoting Way).
