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.

Nothing more dangerous than a powerful State. Except perhaps the self righteous puritans who demand justice for you, but mercy for them.
He didn’t lie. I have years of practice arguing with pro police/pro safety at any cost freepers. Many defended the actions of those two officers. You are delusional if you don’t recognize a problem with the law an order wing of conservatism. It is rooted in religious legalism in some cases an in other cases a desire to control. But Statist are here.
Wow.... Time for the gas chamber!!!
