YouTube - Female arrested forcibly strip searched nude by ohio male cops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgixrRZ-Avg)

She dialed 911, got 'mistaken' for the bad guy, beaten by the cops, strip searched, left in a cell for 6 hours naked, and charged and convicted for resisting arrest....

Hopefully she will sue and win. And some officers should probably lose their jobs, among other penalites.

Just noticed this case was from 2006. The case was settled out of court for a cost of $100,000 to the county to cover their Insurance deductible.
odd quote from the follow up story:
The sheriff’s office said Steffey was combative and had to be placed on suicide and homicide precautions to prevent her from harming herself or others. That involved forcibly removing her clothes, but it wasn’t a strip-search, the sheriff argued.

So in Ohio it is their policy to undress all violent criminals?

"A state investigation into Steffey’s arrest and incarceration found no criminal wrongdoing."

Just watched the vid from the link above:

more disturbing than the first. Also all the cops faces get blurred out?
