Strippers are expensive in NYC
NYC settles jail strip-search suit for $33 million
NEW YORK – Two women who claimed they were forced to undergo gynecological exams and thousands of other people who said they were strip-searched in New York City jails have settled a class-action lawsuit with the city for $33 million.
The suit was filed on behalf of people arrested on misdemeanor drug and weapons charges and strip-searched at Rikers Island and other jails. Other charges included jumping turnstiles, failing to pay child support, shoplifting and trespassing. </em>
Oh yeah, jumping a turnstile or missing child support really qualifies ya for an anal probe. Then again, NYC has more than its share of goons with badges, it seems.
