Culture - Getting drug-searched in pubs/bars/clubs

[Lettish]

Swim was out in town on Saturday. He just wanted to have a few beers and nothing more. In one bar, Swim went to the toilet to empty his bladder. Swim uses the cubicle. When he unlocked and opened the cublicle, two doormen/bouncers were stood there and they asked him if they could do a random drug search.

Swim happily cooperated with them, and he was lead to a corridor through a fire-escape. Swim's pockets were completely emptied, his socks and shoes were taken off, the elastic of his boxers checked, his credit cards wiped on a black cloth (any trace of powder), and had his body very thoroughly frisked.

Obviously, Swim was completely clean that night, luckily. However, Swim had an almighty feeling of guilt, panic, anxiety, adrenaline rush, etc. Because Swim had consumed lots of beer his tongue was loose and to help ease the situation and plead innocence, he began a speech about never using drugs in his life and how much he hated them! Swim thinks the doormen probably knew that he had done drugs before, but on this occasion had nothing on him, and could not prove anything, so they let him off.

Have Swiy ever been searched like that? In some cases, Swim thinks it is good that these searches take place. Afterall, drugs are illegal for a reason.
