I don't make a habit of posting every nasty, seedy news item that pops up. There are too many of them anyway, and it's like grubbing about in the swill.

BUT the completely unustifiable and malicious thing that happened here, is to my mind, so completely and utterly enraging that I have to comment on it. I have to express my horror and incredulity that anyone, let alone anyone in a position of authority, would even think to behave in this way. To subject someone to that level of degredation for no reason whatsoever, and to leave those babies in a car too for hours, and let them witness this vile act which I believe to be on a par with gang rape, is sick in the extreme.

Just what the hell's going on!?!

[b]Cops 'forcibly pulled out woman's tampon during strip search in front of her children and passing motorists' [/b]

A Florida mother who was pulled over by police for driving through a stop sign claims she was then subjected to a nightmarish strip search where her tampon was forcibly removed by an officer.
Leila Tarantino is now suing Citrus County Sheriff's Office claiming that she was strip searched with excessive force on the side of the road in front of her young children last July 17.
According to the claim, a cop waved Tarantino to drive through the posted stop sign in Beverly Hills, Florida, but was then immediately pulled over.
The mother of two says that a deputy approached her car with his gun pointed at it, ordered her out and handcuffed her with no explanation.
Tarantino asked why she being pulled over but the officer said nothing, according to the lawsuit filed on August 3, which was posted on The Blaze.

Suspected of drug-use, the suspect was then put in a police patrol car for two hours while her children, aged one and four, were left in her own car, says the lawsuit.

The suit goes on to say that five other deputies then arrived at the scene and conducted two strip searches in ‘plain view’ of passing motorists.
During one search a female police officer allegedly removed Tarantino’s tampon.
Tarantino's attorneys say their client was 'unreasonably searched and subjected to intrusive, substantial and unwarranted invasions of privacy.'
No drugs or other illegal contraband were found during the searches and no drug-sniffing dogs were used, says the lawsuit.
The suspect was released with a citation for violating restrictions on her driving license but was not charged with a crime.
The lawsuit is filed against the government of Citrus County, Sheriff Jeffrey Dawsey and six unnamed offers. It identifies the six officers – five men and one woman - who conducted the searches as John and Jane Doe.
Tarantino’s attorneys have demanded a jury trial where they want to have the defendants charged with battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Tarantino is seeking monetary damages to be determined in trial by the jury as well as her attorney’s fees.

Pieces of shit

Pure evil scum.

People will end up fighting back. They'll get sick and tired of that shit.

The people will win That inhumane shit can't go on forever. I hate stories like that, really pisses me off Maybe that's the idea though. They want people to fight back so they can bring in their pathetic so called martial law. Even if they did bring it in the people will still win. But those arsehole elitists and piss weak bullying cops are too thick as shit to realise that.

That is disgusting. They have no right to violate someone like that. I always get nervous when a cop is behind me. When my grandma was younger, she was pulled over on her way home and sexually harassed by some pig. Total abuse of power.

It's like they're employing the worst kind of people for the job these days. Bullies, sociopaths.
How can those cops do that? Violate a person's will. Yes, I'd go so far as to say it's a form of rape, I agree with Gilly. If they went toe to toe with real men, and they didn't have their uniform and badge and gun and tazer, the little shits would be rolling up into a ball on the floor whimpering.

They did it in plain view of passing motorists? Maybe one day the motorists will stop eh? I wish they would. Mind you the weak, bullying cops would likely shit themselves and start shooting maybe.

In front of her kids as well.
There's no humanity in the cops that commited that crime, and that's what it is, a crime. And the bastards should be charged.

The police force needs a lot more Frank Serpico's.

Vile and debased behaviour, obviously.

Are things actually getting worse or are they simply being reported more often? Cops have often done vile things and my impression is that they have generally been even worse in the US than in the UK. Take for example, the case in 1997 of the New York cop who raped a man in his custody with a broken broom handle.

To me it makes it even worse that one of the accomplices to this monstrous abuse of power was a police WOMAN. WTF!

K-Bone, that's horrible to hear about your gran. It's heartbreaking.

I don't know, Irre, what their game is, but like anyone else, I'm sickened by it.

Bloody hell, Dreamweaver, I'd not heard about that. It's not the kind of stuff I want to dwell on, but just sometimes, you've got to let off steam about it, or risk becoming desensatised to it.
