DALLAS - Two women claim they were molested during a body cavity search on the side of the road. They are now suing the Texas Department of Public Safety and its officers.

Angel Hobbs, 38, and her 24-year-old niece, Ashley Hobbs, were stopped along Highway 161 in July.

So all of you have went through the police academy
***************************************
Sorry , the police academy doesn’t accept people with above average IQ’s .. they’re not “malleable” enough , they tend to leave unethical organizations and that job turnover is expensive for the department ... who knows they might actually go against the grain and conduct themselves LEGALLY which will result in lower production (tickets , arrests etc.) never mind they might actually start fostering good will with the people that pay his salary and that his arrests might stand up better..

(no joke ,, police departments across the country routinely refuse to interview applicants with IQ’s above 104 which is the “norm” of 100 plus 4 points for margin of error on the test... the “personality” tests they require you to take are actually IQ tests..)

The story stated that the video they have was from a dash camera. Uless it was in a police department garage that means they were on the side of the road.

Now they waited for a female cop to come, that means if these women had a weapon stuffed up their orifices the time to get it out would have been while waiting for the female cop to arrive.

You state you are no longer a LEO, but obviously you were there long enough to join the Fraternity of cops who are paranoid,hate the public ,and trust no one but other LEO’s.

You were probably right to leave. I hope you can solve you attitude problem.

Which in turn, when that fact came out, led Jay Leno’s writers to produce the little ditty “Dumb cops, dumb cops, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do with a low IQ?”.

Not my vehicle without a warrant, or my person without a warrant.
The federal Gov is looking for serious trouble doing this and many will die.

You've got the right country, wrong century. The American sheeple want dictators. There might not be a Holocaust soon. But if there is, it will be wildly popular.

I take the same position. I don’t fly anymore (not since 2000) because I refuse to subjected to that sort of thing.

It would not surprise me if when the TSA starts this—and they will—there’s going to be hell to pay from many motorists.

My, what the USA has disintegrated into.

“So all of you have went through the police academy...”

I guess the police academy didn’t teach you proper grammar either. HAVE WENT? Your size 44 coveralls and your size 4 hat are showing! How did you ever write out a ticket? You remind me of why I think most cops are not the brightest bulbs on the string, and yet society gives you lethal weapons. You speak about closed minded idiots! You need to go stand in front of a mirror when you make statements like that. It’s always “us cops” against “you mere citizens,” right? Just incredible!

The TSA will next be changing the color of their uniforms to that of Brown, especially their shirts and also practicing the Heil Obama salute.

That’s funny. No, what I was really thinking couldn’t be posted.

I absolutely despise people who abuse folks and shred the constitution behind a badge and a gun.

The very people who swore to protect and serve go around bullying people...just cause they can.

Im the same way - my wife reminds me continually my sense of justice is disproportionate

That said - Im with you - bullies in a badge really really piss me off because often there is a sadism edge to it - wielding authority not based in laws, but because they themselves become arbiters of right and wrong......

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?

Are you unable to view the video?

Clear as a bell to the rest of us?

Watch the video and imagine your daughter being second in line to get a dyke’finger up her butt with used gloves?

What if your ass was next?

Did you even look at the video? Or did you look at the video of the TV newsperson interviewing their lawyer, a former LEO himself?

As he said, going from a litter stop to a full blown on-highway cavity search is totally against procedure; unless he personally saw them stuff something in their pants. At the very least, the appropriate action would have been a pat down. THERE WERE NO DRUGS FOUND!

Finally, the TV reporter, a woman, was horrified upon hearing that the officer, even though a woman, actually kept the same gloves on when cavity searching the two women. What woman, any woman wouldn’t get righteously angry, especially when, as the victims claim, they were digitally probed in the vagina and rectum. What kind of LEO sleeze bag would actually do this?

Even though you didn’t copy me on this latest diatribe, I stand by my “rectal exam” comment for that trooper, and for the dirtbag trooper who has no respect for personal privacy and medical practice.

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...

People like this - you mean people who throw cigarettes out windows need to be cavity searched because they might have an Uzi up their orifice? You are truly unhinged and if you own guns they should be taken away from you.
