A pair of videos posted online show police probing the genitals and anal regions of three women they claim to suspect of possessing marijuana. In one video, a woman is seen bent over and grimacing as an off camera police officer conducts the search. Shortly before this search, a male officer explains to the woman that he is calling a female officer over “because I ain’t about to get up close and personal with your woman areas.”

The videos depict two vehicle stops, one for speeding and another for littering. In both videos, a male officer asks the women if they have any marijuana in the vehicle, suggesting that the purpose of their search is to find evidence of this drug. At one point, immediately before conducting her search of a woman’s genitals, a female officer warns the woman that if she “hid something in there, we’re going to find it.”

1. Texas and cops

I know there's bad cops all over the place but I've never seen as many as bad as I've seen in Texas.

2. Cavity Search...

Sounds nicer then Legalized Sexual Assault does.

It takes a really disturbed kind of person to think that actions that would otherwise be defined as sexual assault can be used to protect the public.

3. Why would a body search

ever be done on the side of the road?

Something like that should be restricted to the police station - with witnesses and all legal precautions taken.

4. That's absolutely correct! Never on the side of the road

and only after there's good reason to believe something has been hidden. What did these women do to warrant this type of extreme search? I think law enforcement in Texas that's doing this is just a bunch of sick perverts.

This should not be tolerated by the public.

5. Police state ... I won't even drive in Texas, avoid it like the plague. n/t

6. There are no

rules or regulations in Texas. Governor Perry said so. And any man that has a Ni--erhead ranch and hunting Lodge is probably telling the truth.

7. This story is several months old.

If you read to the end of it, you will read the two female troopers had been fired.

8. From what I have seen recently

the whole freaking South is a police state.
