“Video shows the female officer’s hand on their breasts and down the back and front of both women’s pants.”
There could be hidden weapons stashed in places that most people wouldn’t touch - and for officer safety reasons - every part of a body must be searched - plus, marijuana has a very unique smell and these two got caught and when a low life is searched like this - it always protocol for them to file a complaint...I’m so glad I’m not in L.E. anymore due to dealing with people like this...
I wonder what the cause for complaint would be for a male subject that was obese and was wearing a BRO (http://cdn.gunaxin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/seinfeld-bro.jpg)
What part of police procedure is it to grope and cavity search a female ‘suspect’ on the side of a public highway?
The pretext for the search was marijuana, not potential weapons hidden in one or both of their snatches, to be crude. Yet, when it appears the officer violates someone, it is always the threat of weapons, etc. that becomes the reason.
Were I their lawyer, I’d give this trooper a rectal exam on his documented and validated expertise at determining just how and when one determines that and what are the exact levels between transition from occasional use to daily use.
He pulled them over for littering - not terrorism.
These women were juts lucky that they didn't have a dog with them or else it'd be dead.
Trust me, I’m glad that you’re not in law enforcement anymore, too.
For the officer's safety? He hadn't made an arrest. These two weren't threatening violence on anyone. And if they were cuffed behind their backs and put in the police car, how would they retrieve those shanks? That would be quite a trick.
If you don't have evidence to arrest, then you don't have evidence to do a cavity search. Probable cause for a cavity search should be a lot higher than "I think I smell something."
Officer safety is BS, not just in this case, but in most cases. Its a catch all, just like "interfering with a police officer", to excuse all manner of bullying and petty tyranny.
yeah - real scofflaws - driving down the road - whew - I feel so much safer there are no people like them in my town - so much safer as well that LEOs would never trump up BS road stops
Trust me - Im glad youre not in law enforcement anymore as well
I think you stepped in it this time son.
Body Cavity search’s are not done on the side of the road.
One thing is sure, either these women are lying about the extent of the search or some Bull Dyke lady cop had a great time that day.
I'm so glad you are not in LE either.
Did you actually watch the video? A cop said this was an illegal or improper search.
We do still have the remaining scraps of a Constitution even if Little Hitlers believe that they can determine who deserves rights and who doesn't.
I too am glad you are not in law enforcement anymore.
300 Million Americans agree.
Right, cops never lie or do anything wrong, and are better than the rest of us, even and especially when there is testimony and evidence to the contrary.
I’m guessing you agree that this woman got what she deserved:
In that case, I need to go check my wife for hidden weapons.
DPS spokesperson Katherine Cesinger tells CBS 11 all troopers are “Obligated to act reasonably so as to comply with the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution as well as the Texas Constitution and other applicable statutory provisions. Any search that unreasonably invades the bodily integrity of a citizen is in violation of the Fourth Amendment and is therefore in violation of DPS policy.
”Imagine that - youve now supported something that superiors saw fit to suspend the officer for
jackboots & brownshirts anyone?
They got caught for LITTERING .
I just read your profile.
I am retired from the Army, so... your attitude (and aptitude) now make perfect sense to me.
Lol.
