Roadside body-cavity searches

[rambone]

Here's a fun story. Two men have come forward about an incident involving the Atlanta PD during a traffic stop. The victims allege that they were pulled out of their car at gunpoint, searched without consent, and then in plain view, strip-searched and checked one of then men's anus for drugs.

APD has officially stated that they are seeing evidence of inappropriate behavior from their officers. Good for them -- I am relieved that they aren't covering it up.

To the rest of you out there... you better "watch your six," if you get my drift. We are fighting a War on Drugs, and we can't win wars by playing nice.


APD Unit Investigated Over Public Strip Search Claims

I'm glad it sounds like those officers are going to be dealt with appropriately. Even though, the few bad ones make headlines and make the rest of the good officers look bad, it almost makes it worth it when they are caught and dealt with.

It shows those who choose to believe that there is a "blue wall of silence" that no one is above the law and that good officers like to see the bad officers punished just as much as anyone else. Maybe even more than most others.

The reason I never wipe is to prevent this exact situation from happening.

This kind of thing should dispel any myths that the War on Drugs doesn't kill our liberties and privacy. It absolutely does, whether you do drugs or not. The guy interviewed in the video clip says that he has seen LOTS of complaints about public strip searches.

Preemptive measures at its finest.

Wiping my ass is like trying to get peanut butter out of santa claus' beard. Go ahead and search it buddy.

 

[Burr Head]

Are you sure this really happened? I'm a cop and I'll be damned if I'd ever look at another dude's ass let alone touch it. I don't care if you got the mother load of black tar heroin stuck in there!!!

It has been a long time since I have been pulled over. But if this starts happening here in Indiana. Let me say this. That dog ain't going to hunt.

Whoohoo! Off to go speeding right now! Do you LEO's prefer me to be wearing drawers or do you like the convenience of a perp going commando? For the record..I believe not a word of this.

The department making a statement like that lends a lot of credibility to the allegations. Lord knows the typical response is deny, deny, deny. I applaud them for (hopefully) ridding their own house of bad apples.

Any cop that would want to do that needs help. My sympathy to everyone involved

[96firephoenix]

I think I might welcome the opportunity to moon a cop.

 

[hornadylnl]

Hmm, wonder if there is any dash cam footage on this one? Might make some good money on the net.
