I hardly know what to say. Female officer didn't even change gloves, and put her finger in rectums *then* vaginas? Disgusting.



The female Texas trooper who performed a roadside cavity search on two women will be terminated, according to the Department of Public Safety.
The two women from Irving are suing Trooper David Farrell, Trooper Kelley Helleson and the director of the Department of Public Safety for what they call an unconstitutional search without probable cause.

Fired and a lawsuit sounds about right.

I don't know about anyone else, but I get gassy when I'm nervous. That trooper wouldn't have been amused - but her partner would have had a laugh.

I would have made them haul me into the station for the cavity search and explain to their captain why it was happening. There is NO way I would agree to that on the roadside.

All those worn out platitudes like freedom, liberty, nation of law come to mind.

of course it was justified.

They had to throw the litter on the road because their body cavities must have already been full of something.

Stinking liberals....

A second Texas State trooper has been suspended without pay for being involved in a roadside cavity search that subjected two women to humiliating searches of their genital regions.

The two troopers are now facing a lawsuit by the women, who claim they were searched unconstitutionally without probable cause. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced Thursday that State Trooper David Farrell has been suspended without pay effective Dec. 21, after Trooper Kelley Helleson was suspended without pay on Dec. 19, pending the outcome of the investigation.

The two victims, 38-year-old Angel Dobbs and her niece, 24-year-old Ashley Dobbs, claim they were traumatized from what they consider a case of public sexual assault. After Farrell pulled them over on the side of a highway for throwing a cigarette butt out the car window, the trooper called his female colleague to search the women’s bodies and vehicle for marijuana.

No narcotics or contraband were ever found during the vehicle search, but Farrell insisted that his colleague search the women’s bodies. Using the same latex glove on both women, Helleson searched their anuses and vaginas and irritated one of the women’s cysts, causing “severe and continuing pain and discomfort,” the lawsuit states. The search occurred on the side of the road while illuminated by the police car’s headlights, in full view of oncoming traffic.

“I was molested, I was violated, I was humiliated in front of other traffic,” Angel Dobbs told WFAA. “I had to watch my niece go through the same thing and I could not protect her at that point.”

After Helleson finished touching the women, they were released with a warning not to litter.

Initially, only Helleson was suspended from her position, since she conducted the physically violating search. But it wasn’t until the Dallas Morning News published a video of the search that the DPS took any action.

Two days later, the second trooper was suspended for failing to stop the violating search, but this suspension was not announced until Thursday.

The incident of the roadside cavity search is currently being investigated for possibly violating the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches.

“This is outside the constitutional grounds by a mile. It’s not even close. This has to stop. These two need to be stopped,” attorney Scott Palmer told NBC.

“What we’re dealing with is a Class C misdemeanor. It does not justify any type of pat-down, let alone an invasive search of cavities of women,” he added.

The case will go to a grand jury this month. The DPS has not publicly commented on the incident.

On a personal note, I have had an infected cyst. It was horribly painful without being "fingered" by a police officer (or anyone else, lol) . If someone had done that while I had it, I might have had to punch them. :angry

I can't really express how angry this makes me. It was rape. The cops involved should be in prison. I, too, noted the no change of gloves when she went from rectum to vagina. For the cops to be so sure that this was in any way acceptable that they even did it in front of the car cam is beyond my understanding. I have been pestering the police depts all over Texas (my state) to try to find where there is any legal justification for this. Why would the people involved think this was proper?
