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
