Angel Dobbs, 38 and her niece Ashley Dobbs, 24 were stopped near Irving, Texas for allegedly throwing a cigarette butt out of the window. The Texas state trooper David Farrell claimed that he smelled marijuana, and he used that subjective assertion to order an invasive roadside body cavity search. This search was done by a Kelley Helleson, a female trooper. This was done in public, in front of the trooper's dash camera, and while the male trooper watched. Both body cavities of both women were searched using the same gloves. There was no request for consent, and no warrant was obtained. No marijuana was found.

These people are real perverts - sharon k neuhaus.
Sadly; some of these COPS take their jobs quite seriously...as far as the enjoyment it brings them.
If I were a cop and was told I now had to put my hands down people's pants I would quit!!! Are you kidding me. These people are real perverts.
damn skippy...chalk 1 up in the + column for actual justice for a change ;)
Thanks for this update Hollywood - Its encouraging, anytime that something like this; POLICE STATE manifesto tactics are perpetrated upon free men and women, on the "land", and then; 'they' are later vindicated.
This "traffic stop" was nothing short of STAZI STYLE (SS) enforcement, by nothing other that Corporate Officers Patrolling Streets (COPS) - civil service employees.
Farrell should also be fired for being a definite accomplice, or for having been complicit, in called for the female COP, who arrived on scene, and carry out this blatant invasion of personal privacy.
DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) - CBS-11 has learned two state troopers involved in a controversial roadside cavity search of two North Texas women have been indicted on criminal charges by a Dallas County Grand Jury. CBS-11 has learned that one of the troopers, Kelley Helleson, who left the courthouse after testifying Friday, is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of official oppression. She was seen on dashcam video searching the body cavities — front and back — of the two women along an exit ramp of the Bush Turnpike in Irving last summer.
The Texas Department of Public Safety fired Helleson. CBS-11 has learned the other trooper in the case, David Farrell, is charged with theft after one of the women said her prescription bottle of the painkiller hydrocodone was missing after the search. Farrell initially stopped the women after seeing them throw a cigarette out of their car window. The Department of Public Safety says he remains suspended pending the outcome of its administrative investigation.
The troopers were searching for illegal drugs, but didn’t find any. The women testified before the grand jury Friday, but declined comment. Their attorney, Scott Palmer says he believes the troopers broke the law.
WARRANTS A FLOOR, NOT A CEILING
For more than 150 years, it was considered per se unconstitutional for law enforcers to search and seize certain categories of objects, such as personal diaries or private papers, even with perfectly valid warrants. Additionally, Fourth Amendment jurisprudence prohibited the government from seizing as evidence any personal property which was not directly involved in crime, even with a valid warrant. The rationale for this "mere evidence" rule was that the interests of property owners were superior to those of the state and could not be overridden by mere indirect evidentiary justifications. This rule, like many other obstacles to police search and seizure power, was discarded in the second half of the twentieth century by a Supreme Court much less respectful of property rights than its predecessors.
