Things took a turn for the worst when the police arrived and treated Hope as the perpetrator. She was arrested, taken to jail, and subjected to a humiliating full-body strip search by both male and female officers, violating the sheriff department's own policy that a strip search be conducted by an officer of the same sex. Hope was then left naked in a cell for six hours. Included in the news segment was video footage of the strip search </p> </blockquote> rss@dailykos.com (getmeoutofdixie) HopeSteffey Police Police Brutality PoliceBrutality Recommended StarkCounty stripsearch WKYC _702911 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:01:24 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/19/459833/--Like-She-was-Raped-without-Penetration-Updated <p>The woman who was forcibly strip searched and thrown naked into a cell wanted this to be shown in order to prevent it from ever happening to anyone again. I am assuming that part of the justification for wanting it to be shown is to ask difficult questions; so, I&rsquo;m thinking of the questions she might want asked as I watch this horrific violation of her rights again. I&rsquo;m not looking forward to watching this again. In fact, I dread it.</p> <blockquote> <p>The story may be hard to watch, but the victim and her husband want me to show you what happened &#8211; in hopes that you and those you love will never experience a night like this. </p> </blockquote> <p><object width="425" height="355"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rq3jV1_GOTs&amp;rel=1&amp;border=0" name="movie"></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param><embed width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rq3jV1_GOTs&amp;rel=1&amp;border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="355" wmode="transparent"></embed></object> <br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq3jV1_GOTs&amp;eurl=http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/19/16118/2804/870/459833">http://www.youtube.com/...</a></p> rss@dailykos.com (Winter Rabbit) HopeSteffey Police Brutality PoliceBrutality Rape _459833 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 01:01:29 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/4/449465/-VIDEO-Male-Ohio-Deputies-Strip-search-Female-VICTIM-of-assault <p>Seriously unreal.</p> <p>A sheriff's deputy responds to a 911 call about an assault. &nbsp;Through what sounds like a comedy -- no, a tragedy -- of errors, the woman victim of the assault is taken to prison, strip-searched by a large number of deputies including at least two men, and left lying naked on her jail cell floor for six hours.</p> <p>Part 1: <br /><a href="http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=82447">http://www.wkyc.com/...</a></p> <p>Part 2: <br /><a href="http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=53820&amp;sid=82519&amp;bw=">http://www.wkyc.com/...</a></p> rss@dailykos.com (ThatTallGuy) HopeSteffey lawenforcement Ohio stripsearch Video _449465 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:03:42 +0000
