    A female officer used the backs of her hands to check she didn’t have anything in her bra. They also didn’t strip her shirt off. The front bottom buttons were undone to check around her waist.

    It’s invasive and cops do it unnecessarily to scare people, but it’s 1000% standard pat down.

      If someone starts groping me downstairs, unbuttons my pants and pulls them halfway down fully exposing my underwear you’re not going to win on technicalities either

      They stripped her and defending this is absolutely disgusting.
