Brandy Hamilton, 26, and Alexandria Randle, 24, say their civil rights were violated by the invasive search Texas Department of Public Safety trooper ordered the body cavity search because he smelled marijuana and allegedly found the end of a blunt The women say that the female trooper used the same glove to search inside both of them =============
Disturbing video shows two women in bikinis being subjected to body cavity searches on the side of a Texas highway after they were stopped returning from a weekend at the beach.
Brandy Hamilton, 26, and Alexandria Randle, 24, are suing the Texas Department of Public Safety and the sheriff of Brazoria County, Texas, where the stop occurred. Their lawyer alleges that the search was meant to humiliate them and was conducted without probable cause.
The female officer who performed the invasive search, which included sticking a finger in the women's vaginas, is accused of using the same pair of gloves to search both women. The entire 40-minute traffic stop was caught on the trooper's dashboard camera.
Attorney Allie R. Booker told MailOnline her client's case is startling similar to a July 2012 case in Dallas in which DPS trooper Kelly Helleson aggressively searched, Angel Dobbs and her niece, Ashley Dobbs - including giving them a body cavity search and not changing gloves between searching the two women.

Don’t even bother quarreling, Texas. Just write them out a big ol’ Texas-sized check and hand it over with that good ol’ Texas hospitality.
No prob.
“If its that probable arrest and take facility do NOT do this in the field.”
What you said.
Cavity searches by the side of the road? Who does that?
Same gloves. Same hand?
It's a War on Civilians, uh Drugs....
Latex glove costs add up, it ain't like they grow on trees.
No, they should have just let them keep driving down the road.
And try them for SOMEthing.
I kid you not...I also assure you that he's now a college grad.
Whether the search was right or not, I think they better use separate gloves for individuals cavity searches.
If you have to use the word ‘cavity’ , whew! guilty.
(well, I guess it’s better than ‘cavern’.)
They are Guilty.
Big Time...
I hope they will sue them for millions
If they were returning to Denver I wouldn’t have even stopped them ... would have turned on the lights and escorted them to the New Mexico or Oklahoma state line. If they would have stopped, I would have cited them for not having their dog licenses on their person.
He isn’t a Prosecutor working for the State of Florida is he? ;)
