Cops Told an Australian Woman to Remove her Tampon During a Strip Search

A woman in Australia was asked by police to remove her tampon during a strip search outside a Sydney casino — one of a series of degrading and humiliating encounters with women detailed in a law enforcement review.

The shocking incident occurred in January 2019 when cops strip-searched two women, including the woman who was told to remove her tampon, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission said in a report Tuesday that its investigation “revealed a lack of clarity for frontline officers regarding the lawfulness of such a request,” the news outlet reported.

“In response to this and other factors, the [New South Wales Police] produced the person search manual in August 2019 to ensure police officers are appropriately instructed as to how searches are to be conducted,” the watchdog said.

The investigation uncovered five controversial searches across the city last year, most of which took place at music festivals.

In another case, a young woman working at the Secret Garden Festival a month later was ordered to pull down her underwear and bend over while male police officers laughed at her, the report said.

Her parents complained about the “degrading act,” which found no illegal drugs, to New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian, according to the Morning Herald.

"In another case, a young woman...was ordered to pull down her underwear and bend over while male police officers laughed at her, the report said."

"The commission said officers reported that they felt under pressure to conduct the intrusive searches."

Pressure?! What kind of pressure? The straining of their dicks against their tighty whities? WTF!

I don't know what will happen there, but when that happened in Texas, the victim won $205,000 in her lawsuit.

San Antonio approved the payout to Natalie Simms, 40, who said in a lawsuit that the officer violated her rights during a cavity search on the street in 2016.

"The commission said officers reported that they felt under pressure to conduct the intrusive searches."

Then they're fucking tools in every sense of the word, completely without a functioning brain cell among the lot of em!

It takes a special kind of stupid (or sadist) to make such a request, then they crank it to 11 and follow through on it.

'It's just a few bad apples we swear'

Yeah... Sure... SMDH

Was one of them a vampire?

So many cops are jackbooted perverted thugs.
Too many frankly.

Pressure to do this from whom?
Was it the socially retarded locker room denizens?

To be fair, the tampon was obstructing.

This was even worse because the officer removed the tampon.
