Beauty Queen Dragged Out of Bed Naked by Deputies
KTLA ^ | July 27, 2012 | KTLA

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.

How about because “it’s the right thing to do”?

Not Guilty! But we might have to frisk, just in case.

Frisking might be going a bit far even for what passes for cops these days. She was naked after all.

The word you're groping for is MARRIAGE.

I'm not sure that 'groping' is quite the right word for this thread.

So breaking into apartments at random and looking for morals situations is okay with you?

Once again, I’m glad we still have a Second Amendment.

My family has been very fortunate. My parents have been married 61 years and raised 12 children - 10 of which married and only one has ever been divorced (but is now remarried to the man she divorced). One daughter had a child out of wedlock and grew incredibly from that experience and is now happily married. One is in a very difficult marriage because his wife is basically bi-polar but won’t take medicine for it, but they’ve held on by God’s grace.

I don’t think we ever really considered divorce an option, even though the divorce rates in the general population are about 50-50.

My husband’s parents have been married 56 years and all 4 of their children have been married. Two have divorced - one after being married less than a year to a bi-polar woman and the other after 11 years of marriage to a man who increasingly disrespected her as a result of pornography addiction.

I think a lot of things factor into divorce, but each marriage partner’s personal strength, sacrifice, commitment, and faithfulness in areas of personal morality make a huge difference.

I suspect that the divorce rate is much smaller among those whose only sexual partner is their spouse - partly because they don’t have the baggage caused by giving everything to another person and then walking away from them anyway, and partly because they started out with a more solid idea of what faithfulness is and a belief that faithfulness is important even if there aren’t guarantees of any tangible rewards.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people who cohabitate do so after they’ve been divorced. My neighbor was afraid to remarry because she just didn’t believe she had it in her to keep a promise for life. In a way, it’s giving up on love that can last a lifetime. It’s fear, and I feel really sad that so many people are stuck in that.

I believe that the FEELING of love comes and goes throughout a lifetime, and when it doesn’t feel like love that’s when stubborn commitment has to carry you through. That’s true for all relationships, not just marriage. Ultimately love is a gift of God. His love never ends, and He can fill us to overflowing so that when we by ourselves have nothing to give to our spouse or even feel dead to them, He can give us the love to fill our needs and to give to others. That’s the love that carries us through.

But a person who scorns that love or believes that God is a party-pooper who wants to spoil our fun and just isn’t hip or smart enough to understand modern times... is more likely to bail out when the going gets tough rather than wait for that love to carry them through the dry times of life.

I had a very, very difficult time in my marriage some years ago and felt like I couldn’t take it any more. I harbored thoughts that I am very ashamed of now, which is what pain does to a person. But there is healing for pain, and my marriage today is a testament to the fact that real change is possible - in individuals and in couples. But I think it very seldom happens without the love of God carrying people through, because our commitment and our feelings of love are so fickle.

“What is she doing in bed with a man she isn’t married to? Nobody has any shame any more.”

They should have shot her for that. And then kicked the door in of every other residence looking for harlots more like her.

Absolutely! Then they should break down the door of every man's wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandaughter and force them at gunpoint to stand naked while they leer and make jokes. < /sarc>

Sometimes it ain't easy being a female Freeper.

Are you that separated from reality to think that is what I suggested? Jesus wept.

BTW premarital sex has been around since the begining of time.

You write that like some kind of revelation, like something you just read in a book.

Thank goodness we have wise folks like you to tell us dullards that sin has always existed.

Who knew, lol?!

“You are ducking the question.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe YOU are ducking the answer.

Perhaps you should start over and ask what you want to know. It’s obvious I don’t know what you’re talking about.

“Just another one of those .00001% incidents, pal.

The one in ten million that goes wrong. According to you.”

These less than one percent seem to happen just about every day. I wonder if the ones claiming only one percent, like a few on copblock, have ever done the math on how many raids happen each year, and what the subtotal of one percent is. That is dozens or even hundreds of incidents of this crap.

“I did not say, nor did I even suggest that the victim was somehow to blame. That was a conclusion you derived all by yourself.

The previous poster made an observation that I agreed with so before you get yourself all tightly wrapped around your keyboard you should know that I share your observation and concern over the escalation of police/government power and their proclivity to be abusive and reckless in their intrusion upon private citizens.”


But you cared more about commenting on her bedroom activities, than what the cop did. While I’m more than a little anal myself about unmarried sex, which one is the bigger issue here?

We need another one of those cop TV show...but one that narrates the stories of the victims and just how the bad raid went down...and what the carelessness of these public servants
cost the local taxpayer.

Talk of sin isn’t all that popular these days, at least to be discussed in ordinary company.

Bump that.

Very thoughtful comments, but I fear you are talking to the wind here. Reading this thread helps me to understand how Chick-fil-A came to be branded un-American. Simply put, we’re not the country we once were.

” It’s not that they can’t read, it’s just that they don’t care. If they cared even the least bit about not kicking in the wrong door, then they would take the bare minimum step of double-checking the address, which they never seem to do. So, I can only conclude that it doesn’t bother most police officers at all when they make these mistakes, probably because there are absolutely no consequences for them when they do.”

WINNER!!
