Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas

Legal Search?

I was at a party where alcohol and weed were suspected. The police came and patted everyone down... there were only 8 of us. All of the girls were patted down, but the woman who searched us stuck her hands in my pants around the waist close to my rear end. Later I needed to use the restroom while we were waiting for the other officers to arrive and she told me I would have to be striped searched. I needed to go so I got striped search. The police officer saw my whole nine yards as well as another one of my female friends. I was wondering if these searches were legal, because I truthfully felt violated?

Re: Legal Search?

I think thecopes went too far for a bit of weed. Call a local ecivil righhts attorney and get the investigation started. Make sure everyone at the party has a statement written.
