So, they stripped her. Pretty clear from the video. But it was not a strip search. OK. Then what was it?

While there is clearly something we don’t know, can anyone who thinks the woman was disorderly come up with a decent explanation of why the cops needed to strip her down while cuffed when they were just going to put her in a cell for the next few hours?

It wasn’t a cavity search but she was forcibly stripped by males. i don’t think she appreciates the distinction.

Things like this are why people don’t like calling the police and don’t trust the police.

Yeah, because they are cops and she's not. She obviously didn't learn how to be a good subservient citizen in public school. This is just the officers' way of giving her a little reminder of who is boss.

If the justification put forth by the Sheriff is that she was suicidal, it is legally considered a strip search for weapons or anything else that can do personal bodily harm. The Sheriff’s denial proves the Sheriff dept. is in the wrong.

This Sheriff is going to lose big now that this has hit maybe a million video views today.
