Troopers Indicted After Roadside Cavity Search Of Two Women
CBS DFW ^ | March 22, 2013 | Jack Fink

Posted on 03/23/2013 4:44:40 PM PDT by driftdiver

CBS-11 has learned two state troopers involved in a controversial roadside cavity search of two North Texas women have been indicted on criminal charges by a Dallas County Grand Jury.

CBS-11 has learned that one of the troopers, Kelley Helleson, who left the courthouse after testifying Friday, is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of official oppression.

She was seen on dashcam video searching the body cavities — front and back — of the two women along an exit ramp of the Bush Turnpike in Irving last summer.

The Texas Department of Public Safety fired Helleson.

CBS-11 has learned the other trooper in the case, David Farrell, is charged with theft after one of the women said her prescription bottle of the painkiller hydrocodone was missing after the search

That would be funny if it wasn’t probably true!

They didn't fire the male officer
..even with the theft charge, he didn't stop or object to the search

On what planet is doing a road side cavity search ever acceptable?

Are you kidding? Reword the title of this thread and there will be scores of FReepers defending the behavior. The male cop in question smelled marijuana. There are plenty of FReepers who support the War on Drugs over all else, particularly freedom. Mention freedom on the wrong thread and I guarantee you will be accused of being a drug user.

Every bit of power that the left uses to round us up and send us to reeducation camps in a few years will have been in some way made possible by many on the right. Between the war on drugs and the war on terrorism, the socialists now have the infrastructure capable of enslaving all of us. All they need is a bit of gun control or at least support for gun control, and ... an event. Just one single event.

Things will be much worse in 20 years.

Your optimism is admirable.

In TWO years, this nation will be unrecognizable.

I sure don't mean to start any arguments, but it's been unrecognizable a long, long time. This is not the United States I was born in.

Excellent. It’s about time someof these goons with badges face criminal charges.

How do scum like this make it onto the police force int he first place? Is there no better screening method than whatever they are doing?

Or do just check the box that says “Yes I WILL be a jack-booted thug”?

No kidding. I've been unable to FReep for the last month because I've been working in the field (Yay, the Dems haven't killed my job yet!)

In the last 30 days, I honestly can't believe the accelerating descent into Hell this country is heading toward. ONE month!

As I said on another thread, put a fork in this nation. It's done.

So throwing a cigarette out the window will get you a cavity search on the side of the road according to these cops. I hope they go to jail where they won’t be treated too kindly by inmates who may do a little cavity searching of their own.

Probably hired from the TSA. They do it every day.

Thanks.

That was a disgusting sexual assault and I am so thankful they were prosecuted. Goooo Dallas!

The trial will be interesting to watch.

Wish some TSA pervs would get prosecuted.

How about criminal charges for the lesbo and the drug thief?

Since when is a body cavity search justified after a “routine” traffic stop? For that matter - even it it wasn’t such a stop - wince when are full body cavity searches to be conducted on the side of the road? It’s not like they were all that far from a police station and/or jail facility.

Also - what probable cause did they have to search these women, especially THAT way in the first place? Inquiring minds want to know.
