Preamble:

I usually don't repost something like this, but it was so disturbing, the world needs to know about this. It's shocking that the news station in Ohio heard nothing about it until someone sent them a video. Click here [1] for more information.

Body:

Stark County, Ohio police are under investigation over the use of excessive force for strip-searching Hope Steffey. Yet, this is not the only case in recent months of what is being deemed as an illegal strip-search.

The department is also facing accusations by three young teenage girls ages 14, 15 and 16 that say that they too were illegally strip-searched on May 18, 2007 for what the officers deemed as being for "their own safety." (For further information:In Depth Coverage of the Incident [2])

But let's not stop there. A Stark County police officer is also up for capital murder after he strangled his pregnant girlfriend to death, rolled her body up in a rug, and then dumped her body some twenty miles away. (For further information:Police Officer Murders Pregnant Girlfriend [3] )

Could this be an out of control police department?
