   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3492
   Western District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Bye,
   Circuit Judge]
Civil case - civil rights. Arkansas State Police did not violate plaintiff's constitutional rights to privacy by investigating an allegation that he had sexual relations with a crime victim during the course of the underlying criminal investigation; applying the strict scrutiny test to the State Police's investigation, the State Police has a compelling interest in investigating whether a criminal investigator has had sexual relations with victims and witnesses as such activities endanger the public trust in the police activities, affect the fair and unbiased administration of justice and could lead to the improper use of police authority to exploit crime victims; the investigation was narrowly tailored to serve the state's compelling interest in administering a fair and unbiased criminal justice system. Chief Judge Loken concurring in the result only.
