A woman, who wasnt named by local media, has sued the Las Cruces, New Mexico police department for $1,222. That's how much she was charged by an area hospital for a forcible body cavity search ordered by the police. The search found no narcotics.
Okay, first off, it's just plain rude to send someone a bill for having had their body held down and forcibly searched. Think about what that means. That means some strange person putting their hand in your rectum. In the case of this woman, it also included a strange person putting their hand inside her vagina.
And she only sued for $1222, the same amount she was billed. I'd have tacked on some pain and suffering damages.
Of course, if she did have some hooch in her cooch then they would have been totally justified in their actions. Well, legally justified at least.
The worst part about stories like this for me is how utterly dehumanizing they are. And then the insult to injury to actually have the gall to try and make her pay for having been violated without cause? Yuck. Just makes me want to go live in a cabin on top of a big mountain.
