‘VIOLATED’: WOMEN SUBJECTED TO ‘ROADSIDE BODY CAVITY SEARCH’ DURING ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP (AND DASH CAM CAUGHT IT ALL)

Two women from Irving, Texas are suing state troopers and the head of their department in federal court after they say they were forced to endure an illegal and humiliating “roadside body cavity search” during a routine traffic stop, The Dallas Morning News reports.

The case is currently under investigation by the public integrity division of the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office and will go before a grand jury in January.

The dash-mounted camera on a trooper’s vehicle reportedly captured the entire incident on video. Angel Dobbs, 38, and her niece Ashley Dobbs, 24, say the unlawful search happened on the night of July 13 along a state highway.

Department of Justice: The government considers it police corruption when one or more persons acting “under the color of law” willfully attempt or succeed in depriving another person or persons of their legal rights. “Color of law” involves using the authority of their police status even if the acts exceed the officer’s rightful power. It is also considered police corruption when officers engage in a pattern or practice of depriving another person or group their constitutionally and legally protected rights. The type of police corruption and misconduct covered by these laws can include: the excessive use of force; unlawful stops, arrests, or searches; sexual assault; deliberate fabrication of evidence, and any other act that results in the loss of liberty or rights to another.
