Video shows white police officers carrying out illegal humiliating roadside cavity search
How much longer will this be allowed to go on? The cop sounds disappointed that he wasn't able to find anything up the man's butt.
Passenger Elijah Pontoon was handcuffed and told it was because of his criminal record, even though the lawsuit points out there is no law to justify it.
Just before officers searched the car with a sniffer dog without any probable cause, according to the lawsuit, Officer Chris Medlin referred to him with an old-fashioned racist slur.
“Because of your history, I’ve got a dog coming in here,” Medlin was heard saying. “Gonna walk a dog around the car. You gonna pay for this one, boy.”
Lakeya Hicks, who was then searched off camera, said her breasts were exposed to a busy road and three male police officers.
