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

"The male cop in question said he smelled marijuana."

A little edification.

What amazes me is how someone can be so out of touch with reality, that they have a ZERO sense of boundaries, that they can go up to a stranger on the street and go places on their body without having any grasp that they are way beyond the limits of behavior in the setting and the situation.

Way to lie about FR and freepers, by the way, the male cop seems to be a doper himself.

Doug is spot-on with respect to how many FReepers defend the idiotic “War on Drugs”. It is even more stupid than the “War on Terrorism”.

He is not lying, and saying he is, is just profoundly clueless.

The complaint said the officer only used ONE rubber glove for both ladies’ cavity searches!

At least the complaint doesn't mention whether she rested both hands on the ladies shoulders during the cavity search.

Well I’ve never had one or done one officially, but its this officer took a gloved hand and inserted a finger(s) into the womens rectum and vagina.

Supposedly to determine if they had hidden drugs in those locations.

No, “scores” of freepers will not be defending this cavity search.

100% correct.

There are many Statists who consider themselves to be “law-and-order” Conservatives.

And why did the women allow it? Even at gunpoint anyone who tried it on me would pull back a stump.

When the story first came out I wondered that same thing too. But it’s a good thing they let it all be captured on tape and that’s what other freeper said when the story first came out. I don’t know how they kept their composure.
however keeping their composure they were able to expose these 2 criminals.

This story infuriated me. What if this had been my daughter.

The officer smelled marijuana. That's a canned response whenever officers seek to gain entry into a person's car.

I'd have said to the rogue cop...NO! You cannot search my car...get a dope dog out here.

When the cop began to do the cavity search, I would have been tazed or roughed up.

Wow....just wow. Protect and serve? Right.

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.

Well said!

cavity search” See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_cavity_search

What one has to ask or what the "complaint" filed in this case, is more then likely missing, would be Without due process of law under the 4th & 5th & 14th Amendment(s), complainant(s) was denied her / there Constitutional protections.

Without due process of law under the 4th & 5th & 14th Amendment(s), complainant was denied her/ there Constitutional protections to 42 USC § 1983. (Just in case you do not know what "§" stands for / represents, it refer's to "Subsection".)

Without due process of law under the 4th & 5th & 14th Amendment(s), complainant(s) was denied her/ there Constitutional protections to 18 USC § 242. (Reference both Police Officers)

Without due process of law under the 4th & 5th & 14th Amendment(s), complainant(s) was denied her/ there Constitutional protections to 18 USC § 241. (Reference both Police Officers, in their individual capacity as citizens with knowledge of the law.)

In all Federal claims, the minimum (you can always ask for more) that can be asked / requested, is $50,000.00 (fifty thousands dollars) per violation, so 12 violation Federal claims @ $50,000.00 (fifty thousands dollars) should add up to a minimum of $600,000. that's just for starter's. I could keep going but then I'm not a "lawyer."

When a "lawyer" tells you you can't write a complaint the way I have, time to look for another "Bar Member," that will. They are out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you believe that just talking to maybe two (2) or three (3) lawyers, constitutes looking, I'll save you the trouble, you can't write a complaint the way I have.;-) End of sarcasm, reference this paragraph only.§
