Why I Hate the Cops--Part 43


The Gotahmist and the New York Daily News are reporting on the case of the Brooklyn, NY male cop who conduct a series of unauthorized strip searches using his iPhone to obtain pics of the woman in his custody.  Claudia Bova was strip search at the Brooklyn station house.  This specific police district house was the  locus for a recent major scandal involving 4 rogue narcotics officers and the resultant dismissals of hundreds of drug cases.  The cop in this instance is alleged to have used both a police camera to photograph Ms. Bova in a station bathroom, then  his own iPhone according to the reports in the Daily News.   Purportedly he needed to "document" a  navel tattoo.  That's a federal lawsuit.
