    Default Woman calls for help, violently strip searched

    An unreal story, horrifying. Fortunately it's been covered, still being discussed and causing outrage. I'm a bit late in reporting it, but I just came across it during a search on incidents in custody. It shocked me, though I guess that's naive of me. I'm trying to figure out where things are with her case.

    Video at link. (now the correct link)

    Story:

    Regular readers of the Blend know that I've been following the seemingly endless violent, sadistic Taser incidents involving law enforcement. Below is something equally heinous -- the disgusting strip search of a woman by police in Stark County, Ohio. (Raw Story):
    Hope Steffey's night started with a call to police for help. It ended with her face down, naked, and sobbing on a jail cell floor. Now, the sheriff's deputies from Stark County, Ohio who allegedly used excessive force during a strip search 15 months ago face a federal lawsuit, and recently released video won't help their case.
    According to the policy of the sheriff's office, strip searches conducted must be with officers of the same sex as the person arrested. In Steffey's case, both men and women ripped her pants down.
    Steffey's ordeal with the Stark County sheriff's deputies began after her cousin called 9-1-1 claiming Steffey had been assaulted by another one of their cousins. When a Stark County police officer arrived, he asked to see Steffey's driver's license. But instead of handing over her own ID, she mistakenly turned over her dead sister's license, which she contends she keeps in her wallet as a memento. That's when the situation became complicated.
    ...Eventually, Steffey was arrested and taken to the Stark County Jail, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. But once in custody, her attorney says seven jail workers, male and female, forcibly removed Steffey of all her clothes, including her undergarments, while she lay face down in handcuffs. Local news footage shows Steffey wailing, asking "What are you doing?!?"
    And you have to ask yourself, what was the purpose of the strip search?" said Steffey's lawyer. "What was the necessity of it? This was a disorderly conduct claim."
    The lawsuit says that Steffey remained in the cell for six hours and wrapped herself in toilet paper to stay warm. During that time, she was not allowed to use a phone or seek medical assistance for injuries she accrued that night, including a cracked tooth, bulging disc, and bruises.

    Cops are cunts. There are two types of people in their world, real people and criminals, and as soon as you have crossed the "line" they seem to feel justified in treating you much worse than they would treat their animals.

    I've been handcuffed in the back of a divvy van and threatened with rape for being so evil as to participate in a peaceful environmentalist protest in a hick country town. this shit happens all the time, all over the world.

    Cops are Cops - doesn't matter what gender, they all have the same douche attitude.

    I don't understand how they could watch it either.

    I'd be curious to know how many of the officers involved have recently served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    There seems to be a pattern of this kind of thing. Many recent vets are taking jobs in the police forces around the country.
