Fully Nude Strip Search by Cops: Male Police Stripping Woman Completely Naked
May 21st, 2009 | by admin |
Completely nude strip searches of females are being forcefully conducted by male police officers, against policy, and in Abu Ghraib torture style, in Stark County Ohio. The women are strip searched fully nude, video-taped, and left naked for up to six hours by the cops.

Sheriff Timothy A. Swanson denies all charges and asked fellow government employee, Attorney General Marc Dann, to investigate, however, later Dann was forced to resign after an unrelated sex scandal and numerous sexual harassment claims against him. Special prosecutors then failed to even interview the victim before presenting the case to a grand jury. How many cases are investigated without interviewing the victim?
So far five women have come forward with similar cases of abuse at this Stark County jail, including one that was a victim of a sexual ault while employed at an Ohio medium security prison.
Near the beginning of the video you can see the black male officer helping to strip Hope Jeffey’s panties off of her while the white male officer holds her down. The woman’s bra and panties are removed along with all her clothing, exposing her bare naked breasts, , and vagina in front of the male officers, while they video tape. She is eventually completely stripped and left naked and handcuffed on the floor.
Hope was arrested for resisting arrest.
911 was called for help after Hope was aulted by another woman. However, instead of helping Hope, when police found that Hope was mourning her dead sister by keeping her sister’s ID in remembrance, they confiscated it from Hope and refused to return it. When Hope became upset, the police arrested her for “disorderly conduct,” throwing her to the ground and chipping her tooth.

Stark County Strip Searches
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/51315
It all began in Stark County, Ohio when Hope Steffey was aulted by a cousin and another cousin called 911 for istance. When the officer arrived, Ms. Steffey accidentally handed over her deceased sister´s license, which she kept for sentimental reasons. She immediately noticed the mistake and gave the officer her own identification and asked for her sister´s to be returned. The officer refused to return her sister´s license. The officer ran a check on Ms. Steffey´s license and found no infractions, but continued to treat her as though she were the perpetrator of the crime, instead of the victim.
Ms. Steffey states she begged for the return of her sister´s license until Officer Gurlea lost his patience and shouted, “shut up about your dead sister.” When Ms. Steffey pointed at the officer´s pocket, which held her sister´s id, and said, “she was here, she was someone”, Officer Gurlea threw her face down on the hood of his patrol car, chipping one of her teeth. And according to documents filed by Hope and Greg Steffey with the United States District Court in Cleveland, Officer Gurlea then threw Steffey to the ground. Although Ms. Steffey´s cousin repeatedly reminded the officer that Steffey was the victim and had been knocked unconscious in the previous ault, Officer Gurlea handcuffed Steffey and put her into the back of his patrol car, refusing her medical care.
Hope Steffey was then taken to the county jail and forcibly strip-searched by 6 to 7 male and female deputies, despite Stark County´s own policy which states that a strip search must be conducted by a same sex officer. She was left in a cell for 6 hours with no clothing or even a blanket and eventually wrapped herself in toilet tissue for warmth and modesty. She was not allowed a phone call or medical attention and when she was later taken to booking, she was given only a small weighted vest to cover her nudity. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Is there video the Stark County Sheriff doesn’t want you to see?

The police state grows nearer as our freedoms, civil rights, and liberties, guaranteed under the United States Constitution, are whittled away by overwhelmingly powerful and excessive government. Please take a moment to educate yourself, watch this video of Congressman Ron Paul today:

When Martial Law is declared, you may not even get to know about any miscarriage of justice. You may be the next victim. What a thought!
Remember what the Khmer Rouge did to their own nationals were not on videos like this.
Brave New World if the badly drafted Martial Law legislation is allowed to remain on the statue books as they are.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (May 20) - Five Birmingham police officers were fired for beating an unconscious suspect ejected from a car after a chase, an attack captured on a patrol car video tape that didn’t surface publicly for a year. Police Chief A.C. Roper said the officers, who were not identified, were seasoned veterans but acted in a “shameful” manner.

Zemo. We have police abuse all around us, exposed like never before, and we know from history that power corrupts. So why is it such a mental challenge for a small segment of men to understand it? Perhaps they are so fearful of what they are seeing, and the incredible and horrific ramifications, that they cannot face it? Therefore, they rationalize it, and justify it. Isnt this thinking, and behavior, on some level, cowardice?

Zemo. Where do these nut case police apologists come from, and what kind of man would attempt to justify the abuse that Hope Steffey suffered? Would they support such horror against their mothers, their wives, their daughters, for any reason? Or are they so naive to think it could not happen to them?

My relation is a local LEO and their cars video IS on all the time. And they also have body mics.
I also have other relation that are LEO’s in other states.
And I have friends that I have worked with for years in the county sheriff’s dept.
And since this story went national, its crap like this that puts all of them in a bad light, and makes their jobs even more dangerous.
