Welcome to the new world order.

Fully nude strip searches of females are being forcefully conducted by male police officers, against policy, and in Abu Ghraib torture style, in Stark County Ohio. The women are video-taped and left naked for up to six hours.

Near the beginning of the video you can see the black male officer helping to strip Hope's panties off of her while another male officer holds her down. The woman's bra and panties are removed along with all her clothing, exposing her bare naked breasts, ass, and vagina in front of the male officers. She is eventually completely stripped and left naked and handcuffed on the floor.

All this happened merely because 911 was called for help on Hope's behalf when she was hurt in a fight. Hope accidentally showed her dead sister's ID to police, she keeps it with her in remembrance of her sister. So far, five women have come forward with similar strip search experiences at this Ohio jail, see link near bottom.

Stark County Strip Searches

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/51315

It all began in Stark County, Ohio when Hope Steffey was assaulted by a cousin and another cousin called 911 for assistance. When the officer arrived, Ms. Steffey accidentally handed over her deceased sister´s license, which she kept for sentimental reasons. She immediately noticed the mistake and gave the officer her own identification and asked for her sister´s to be returned. The officer refused to return her sister´s license. The officer ran a check on Ms. Steffey´s license and found no infractions, but continued to treat her as though she were the perpetrator of the crime, instead of the victim.

Ms. Steffey states she begged for the return of her sister´s license until Officer Gurlea lost his patience and shouted, "shut up about your dead sister." When Ms. Steffey pointed at the officer´s pocket, which held her sister´s id, and said, "she was here, she was someone", Officer Gurlea threw her face down on the hood of his patrol car, chipping one of her teeth. And according to documents filed by Hope and Greg Steffey with the United States District Court in Cleveland, Officer Gurlea then threw Steffey to the ground. Although Ms. Steffey´s cousin repeatedly reminded the officer that Steffey was the victim and had been knocked unconscious in the previous assault, Officer Gurlea handcuffed Steffey and put her into the back of his patrol car, refusing her medical care.

Hope Steffey was then taken to the county jail and forcibly strip-searched by 6 to 7 male and female deputies, despite Stark County´s own policy which states that a strip search must be conducted by a same sex officer. She was left in a cell for 6 hours with no clothing or even a blanket and eventually wrapped herself in toilet tissue for warmth and modesty. She was not allowed a phone call or medical attention and when she was later taken to booking, she was given only a small weighted vest to cover her nudity. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Is there video the Stark County Sheriff doesn't want you to see?

The police state grows nearer as our freedoms, civil rights, and liberties, guaranteed under the United States Constitution, are whittled away by overwhelmingly powerful and excessive government. Please take a moment to educate yourself, watch this video of Congressman Ron Paul today:

  • if that was my mom or sis, I'd walk into the station with body armor and an AK-47

  • No one could dream up, script, direct, & produce a more horrifying scene than this. Whatever the male sons-of-bitches in that cell intended, one thing is doubtless: This clumsy, unprofessional strip of Steffey shows that these particular deputies, maybe all Stark County Sheriff deputies, are woefully untrained in strip search practices. Everything that you can think of, to make the strip as painful & scary as possible for the strip-ee, happens here, including not giving her a chance to comply.

  • This is so shocking! I'm speechless!

  • fuck the police

  • I used to think Alex Jones is crazy and exaggerating a lot ... but honestly not anymore! Alex is correct and 100% right ...  America is being ruled by demons and it's our duty to wake up and take it back before it's too late !! The first thing we have got to do is VOTE FOR RON PAUL 2012 ! PLEASE PEOPLE ! WAKE UP !!

  • @fmnma1 I have the same concerns. Law enforcement seems absolutely out of control, at least in some places. "SWAT" type forces have broken in & shot people dead in their homes, who were not armed; have raided the totally WRONG home in some places; there is the Kelly Thomas horror & the Hope Steffey rape(albeit without penetration, but nonetheless a rape, as Ms. Steffey herself is quoted by her husband as saying). Check out the upload of this rape by zemo999 & click on details 2 know more

  • OHIO plice officers need to come to CALIFORNIA lol walk in with uniforms leave home scared out of their mind.

  • @cyndish1

    Oscar Grant, Kelly Thomas, a 7yo murdered in a wrong house raid, and now a Florida man, did not have to die. I ask the question, since when is law-enforcement entitled to judge/jury/executioner... I get a reply 'they are only human'... Of course they forgot to mention the mentality of choice. The excuse 'only human', angers me further! If only this bigotry mentality would cease, then maybe people would start respecting law-enforcement, including me...

  • @cyndish1

    That is absolutely fantastic news. What I heard, she had lost, I'm very happy to hear she won. It sickens me at the thought the police officers involved getting off on procedure or police, as if the moral standard no longer existed. You know, I just wish (one day) police would be charged, and processed like any other citizen, for crimes committed against the law. They wonder why people get enraged when there is clear cut evidence to speculate as to exactly why.

  • @fmnma1 The victim, Hope Steffey, did not lose her civil suit; the county settled for six figures. After her lawyers got their chunk, she actually received about $100,000.

    You are certainly right that the system failed her. The Stark County sheriff, tim swanson, saw nothing wrong with this attack. The special investigator who looked into what happened here, saw nothing wrong. And the grand jury that looked at this attack, said nothing occurred which could be prosecuted under the law.
