A federal lawsuit filed by two Irving women claims that Texas State Troopers humiliated them by performing illegal vaginal and anal cavity searches on the side of the road after a cigarette butt was thrown out of their car window. State Trooper David Farrell called in a female trooper to perform cavity searches of Angel Dobbs, 38, and her 24-year-old niece, Ashley Dobbs, because he said that he smelled marijuana and the women were “acting weird". Angel Dobbs recalled that the female trooper, Kelley Helleson, asked for her permission to perform the search and then told her to “shut up and just listen.” Dashcam video shows Helleson searching the anuses and vaginas of both women with the same latex gloves in full view of other passing cars. The trooper also took a bottle of Vicodin that had been legally prescribed to her. When the women filed a complaint with the Texas Department of Public Safety, they said they were told that they would be charged with lying if they filed an affidavit. For its part, the Texas Department of Public Safety claimed it had “conducted an inquiry surrounding the events” and then provided the findings to the Dallas County DA's office. If you live in the United States, you should have an opinion because when you stay quiet - your silence is taken for approval. Many say that this was not law enforcement - they feel this was a gross abuse of power culminating in a sexual assault. What say you?
