Texas women sue over cavity search. "The officer didn't even change gloves!" (Warning:Very Graphic)

12. Yes, the woman or women are lying

This video was posted last night. I watched it. There is no "cavity search."

There is a very intrusive underwear search involving genital contact of a sort that any of us would find incredibly objectionable.

One can argue that the level of intrusion is tantamount to a cavity search.

One can probably spend a career identifying problems with this search.

It might be the worst search of the year. It is probably outrageous, illegal, disgusting, etc.. It is exactly the sort of thing a loony civil-libertarian like myself would be first in line to condemn.

One cannot, however, credit the women's stories when the story or stories make claims that are readily falsified by the video.

The explicit claim offered with the video is false, which is a problem with the case.

And I am tired of people pushing everything into the territory of falsehood to make claim more sensational.

The fact that I am tired of it will not stop the phenomenon, but I have duly registered my hyperbole fatigue.

With the cavity search claim withdrawn there would be a hell of a lot of merit to the compliants, so it just does not help anyone or anything.
