Dashcam shows traffic stop that triggered groping suit

A Tennessee woman alleged in a lawsuit that a state highway patrol officer in August searched her without cause, groped her and waited three hours near her home to stop her again, KnoxNews.com reported.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol issued a statement that supports the trooper, but a state prosecutor criticized Trooper Isaiah Lloyd and said his actions were “inconsistent with his training.”

Jared Effler, the eighth judicial district attorney, told the paper on Thursday that he will likely be unable to charge Lloyd with a crime, but he said he was going to drop a seatbelt ticket issued to Patricia Aileen Wilson.

“Our review of this matter has been forwarded to Commissioner of Safety and Homeland Security David Purkey, along with a request that the findings of our review be reviewed with Trooper Lloyd to prevent similar incidents in the future,” Effler wrote.

Poor young cop was looking for a "date" the only way he could. Stopped her for a seat belt violation, then ordered her out of the car for a search of her body, FOR A SEAT BELT VIOLATION! Way out of line. Then to stalk her at her house when she got home that day with her kids in the car, was over the top. The young woman is definitely "well proportioned" and a looker, but that doesn't give a cop the right to invade her privacy like he did. His commander did what all cop commanders do, he refused to say his cop did anything wrong that he should be punished for. The cop is no professional, and should be benched until he becomes one.

The facts say she will most likely be awarded the $100K she is seeking.

He needs to drop some ice cubes in that codpiece.

Guess that's where the expression "cop a feel" comes from.

11:56 wins the thread for noticing she was busted!

Cop should be fired, or assigned to former Nashville mayor.

I'm a male who was stopped by a female cop one time and she made it real clear she was interested in more than giving me an inspection ticket.I never followed up on it because if we somehow didn't get along I was afraid of what she could do.
