Hope Steffey

Hope Steffey called the police as a victim of assault and endured even more when the police took her into custody.  It all started when Steffey's cousin called the police over Hope being assaulted, when the police arrived and asked for her license she accidentally gave them her deceased sisters, which she kept as a memento.   When the police refused to return it to her Steffey began to panic and beg for it to be returned.  They eventually arrested her for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.  Once she arrived at the police station Steffey was denied her phone call and was then taken into a cell, handcuffed to the ground and stripped searched.  Not only was she forcibly strip searched by female police officers but also by men, which is against policy.  I've posted some information on the case and the video of the search, so be ware it's a bit graphic.
