TEXAS - Two Irving women are suing two Texas State troopers and the director of the Department of Public Safety after they say they were violated, during what they call an unconstitutional search, when they were subjected to a roadside cavity search in full view of the public and without probable cause.
On July 13, while driving along State Highway 161, Angel Dobbs and her niece Ashley Dobbs were stopped for littering by Trooper David Ferrell. In the dashcam video released by the women and their attorney, Ferrell can be heard telling the women they would both be cited for littering for throwing cigarette butts out of the car.
Farrell then returned to his cruiser and, in the video, can be heard calling female Trooper Kelley Helleson to the scene to search both women whom he said were acting weird.

Bumped. Another Media Report Here - But, let me just clear something up. This was not a search; This was not reasonable; This was recorded forcible sexual assault by police officers under the auspices of their threatening authority. Rape, period.
There were no attempt to search their pockets, empty their purses or put their personal contents on the ground or top of car for inspection. This was not a pat down the officer never even checked the legs, socks or shoes. The female officer was not conducting a search, she immediately put her fingers in the anus and vagina of both victims.
The officers proceeded to engage in unlawful activity against a victim who expressed no prior unlawful conduct, reason to suspect, refusal to comply with instruction, or noted contraband from visual search, or review, that would warrant such a gross violation.

"...but it looked rather thorough. I'm assuming it was because of the woman's objections in the video."
Just trying to keep it polite.
