This really needs to stop. Yes, the guy probably had drugs in the past. Yes the cop probably thought it was his duty to find said drugs and protect his community because that's what he thinks he's paid to do. Until police leaders nationwide catch on to the fact it is 2016 and this way of policing isn't tolerated by the public, nor should it be, it will continue in many parts of the country still living in 1970. It was a fishing expedition and those peoples rights were violated period. A cavity search in public for Christ sake.. Even if you had a baggie hanging out of the guys butthole you don't do a friggin cavity search.
Why did the cops feel they could do that with cameras rolling? Because they didn't think they were doing anything wrong. They are so clueless or ignorant to case law, they think they are doing a bang up job. And how did they get that way? Because their department, "denies the plaintiffs' allegations and is vigorously defending this lawsuit." So it's a culture of bad policing. This was an opportunity for that department to send the message that officers will conform to state and case law when dealing with the public.
