Atlanta police conduct full cavity search during traffic stop.
"In an exclusive interview with (WSB reporter) Philips, the passenger in the car said members of the Red Dog unit pulled over his friend's vehicle and forced the driver, Shawn Venegas, to pull down his pants on the side of the road in broad daylight. He says officers conducted a body cavity search for drugs on Venegas. No drugs were ever found, passenger Brian Kidd said.
“They went to his bottom part. That’s as low as you can go. I don’t think anybody should be subjected to that kind of search,” Kidd said. “I had to look away because I couldn’t watch my friend be done like that.”
Kidd told Philips that an officer also reached down his pants searching his private parts for drugs.
Venegas said he was so traumatized by the incident that he moved to another state.
"I feel molested, and I feel like I was raped," Venegas told Philips in a phone interview."
"Two of the three officers involved in the stop were also named in the infamous Atlanta Eagle bar raid that the city recently settled."

To get the true picture we would have to have been there. However, a body cavity search at the roadside is, to me, tantamount to rape.
If there were suspicions sufficient to warrant it, this should have been performed under correct medical supervision, in private.

It could be said that the long arm of the law has reached a new low.
All over the world liberties are being sacrificed for reasons that do not ensure the good or safety of the people.

Call me naive if you want, but life without trust in the goodness of others would be intolerable.
