LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- A former beauty queen is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after she says deputies kicked down the wrong apartment door, pointed guns at her and her fiancee and watched as she got out of bed, naked.
Calenche Ranae Manos, a former Miss Nevada 2007, says in her lawsuit that the incident happened on the night of November 15, 2011.
Manos and her fiancee, Eric Otto Ryder, say deputies had a search warrant for apartment "C" but entered their unit -- clearly marked as apartment "A."
"At that time Ms. Manos was still in bed and was naked," the complaint, obtained by Courthouse News Service, states.
"The sheriff deputies, all of which were male and armed with guns, ordered Ms. Manos to get out of bed and then watched as she attempted to do so," it alleges.
The officers then spent a "significant amount of time" in the apartment before they realized their mistake, according to the complaint.
One of the officers allegedly joked that Manos would have a good story to tell at Thanksgiving.
Manos is seeking damages for negligence, false imprisonment and civil rights violations.
She is also accusing the deputies of sexual harassment.
Ultimately, their souls will be responsible for all of their actions. I also think that things will be changed when the wrong person is terrorized.
LLS
And these yahoos used their power to break into a home and harass the occupants at gunpoint for a sex show.
If we tried something like that, we have a fairly good idea of what would happen to us.
With great irresponsibility should come overwhelming punishment, but unfortunately, in a police state we know the only one who will pay is the taxpayer.
The yahoos responsible likely won't be so inconvenienced.
They are immune from the damage they do...at least on this side of the veil.
It’s that old wrong door trick again.
“she’s pretty stupid if she didn’t just grab the sheet and wrap it around her while she got up.”
Usually when the cops raid your house and are screaming at you in the middle of the night with guns drawn, one of their primary commands is “put your hands on your head”. Pretty hard to hold a sheet up if you are in that position.
They should have shot her for that. And then kicked the door in of every other residence looking for harlots more like her.

So do I...
You sound like a lonely man. You ought to try to meet a nice decent woman.

By mistake, I think not!
Past Your Eyes, since you are so easily offended, and obviously ‘holier than everyone else’, I trust by now you have plucked out both of your own eyes, because by now they likely have often offended you.
And now those "lucky" cops are facing a lawsuit. I wonder how "lucky" they feel now.
lol !
#36 great post!!!
Apartment “C” was not nearly as nice a prospect as apartment “A” and i am sure the officers were quite aware of that.
And a cavity search too!
Later that day, the entire force met to discuss what may have gone wrong
Poor Past. You just picked on the wrong victim; thats all.
I guarantee you that if it were two fags in bed - or one of Holder’s people - or an illegal - or a muzzie - or so on....
You would not have gotten all this anger.
i hate to break it to you but i doubt one in fifty attractive women saves herself for marriage these days
when i was a lad in the 70s it was still a small minority even then who waited till marriage
the PILL killed chastity more than anything
and Roe V Wade sealed the deal
no more fear of pregnancy and if by chance you screw up it can still be “fixed”
all this hoopla about the empowerment of women and they voluntarily gave up the biggest power source they had in the pursuit of material and social “power”
the irony of it
Mission brief: OK this is for the apartment on the left, right?
And no pajamas, either.
He probably Googled her address so they could all goggle her when they got there.
The word you're groping for is MARRIAGE.
Probably a restoration surgery for that.
That was one of the most offensive apologies I've seen yet today. Should have said, "I can see how you might have thought that. My comment was a little off the topic of terrorizing police raids against private citizens."
“It’s unfortunate that LEOs are insulated from personal liability for their violations.”
Not in Indiana and Texas! In those liberty-loving states it’s legal to shoot law enforcement to protect yourself from illegal and unwarranted entry. And when the cops use a warrant on the wrong property both states define that action as illegal and unwarranted.
I totally agree.
Mistake my butt.
They knew exactly what they were going.
And...can’t say that I blame them. ;~€)
Hot Dawg!
Sounds good in theory, but when a homeowner protects his property, he, his house, his dog, and his body will be shot somfull of SWAT bullets that you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.
People recognize this too. That's why she no doubt told the reporters covering this story that the guy in her bed was a "fiance" rather than just a boyfriend. (Of course, they then misspelled the word.) But it's true that the terms "fiancee" and "fiance" are now used to mean something like "sex partner to whom I'm so committed that I remember his/her name the next day."
“The one in ten million that goes wrong. According to you.”
You really got a hard on for cops, eh pal? OK. That’s one.
Make sure you keep me posted. Oh no, on second thought don’t. Mt box would be flooded with all the hundreds of JBT attacks carried out daily.
Under these circumstances, they are not immune from tort action. They will be named as co-defendants in the lawsuit.
Obviously it is her own fault for sleep in naked. </bootlicker>
In bed with a man, and not another lesbian????? Shameful!!!!/sarc
To be pefectly clear, did you just state that if this happened to homosexuals, illegals, or muslims, we here on FR wouldn’t care?
I don't think premarital sex in a committed relationship is bad nor do I think God gives a hoot over it(it's not his main criteria put it that way)
There is a couple in my hometown who have lived together for 30+ years. 4 kids. True soulmates. When you hear of a spouse dying a day after the other spouse this will be them.
The man is a a contractor by profession and has practically rebuilt the local church over the years w/o fanfare nor reward. His "wife" has spent more time volunteering at the church than anyone and is involved in numerous civic activities that help people.
Is God going to punish them for not being married over another "Christian" married couple who while religious and believing in God does not walk the walk? I don't think so.
One night stands/friends with benefits are different and is not what I was referring to.
Got a little nookie from a loving relationship between two people who care for each other before marriage.... I personally don't think God gives a hoot about it but that's me. God is looking how you lead your life, treated others, helped the poor and less fortunate, made an attempt to make the earth a better place....I think he has more important criteria...
“...we here on FR wouldn’t care?”
Wouldn’t care about what?
How nice of you to weigh in with what you think God thinks?
The Bible clearly disagrees with your humble opinion, but that’s not your problem, right?
Lets look at your nice sweet example of that couple who’ve been shacking up for 30+ years. You don’t think God will punish them? When His Word says otherwise?
What if they were of the same sex? What if it was one man-two wives? You don’t think it’s wrong for two gay people to get “a little nookie from a loving relationship between two people who care for each other before marriage.”?
Wouldn’t care enough to post “all this anger”.
“Sue everyone and own their future... destroy their lives... drive them from public service.”

Spoken like a true sixties hippie. You neglected to call them “pigs”,though. Getting old and forgetful?
BTW premarital sex has been around since the begining of time.
I think you might find this of interest. From "Everyday Life in the 1800s" by Marc McCuctcheon, Chapter 10 Courtship and Marriage, page 205:
"premarital sex: the late 1700s and early 1800s were marked by a notably higher incidence of premarital sex than in later years. Records show, in fact, that around the turn of the century one third of New England brides were already pregnant when they married, despite civil statutes against fornication
Demanding accountability from government workers is a 60s thing?
Anger.
Thanks, I get it. As you see Past your eyes received a great deal of anger and was personally attacked over his comments in #4.
Why? All he did was post a pro-Christian veiwpoint? And the last time I looked, JR hisself was making it clear this was a pro-God website. But there are many FReepers who feel otherwise. Many will take a comment like #4 and get angry and insulting over it.
Why? Why the anger?
“Demanding accountability from government workers is a 60s thing? “

Nope,but wanting to “destroy their lives” is a bit over the top for this incident.
I have no experience with this so I wouldn’t know.
But as long as they don’t tell you can’t have a sheet in your hands when you put them on your head...
BRAVO!!!!
Its high time someone told these sanctimonious theocratic American Taliban “social” conservatives where to get off.
It was music to rival Beethoven’s mightiest symphonies......
