Baton Rouge police strip-search teen and enter home without warrant

Within minutes of being pulled over by police on New Year's Day last year, Clarence Green was standing in the street behind an SUV with his pants down and his underwear exposed. The officer groped him in public in his search for drugs.

Then police searched Green's 16-year-old brother in the same manner.

That officer is now under investigation. The city has settled with the family for $35,000.

"What's captured in the video bears a closer resemblance to sexual assault than it does to constitutional policing. The officers involved were clearly outside the bounds of anything that the Supreme Court has said is permissible for law enforcement officers to do," Thomas Frampton, the Green family attorney, said.

If the Police Unions had to pay these settlements, they would change the way they do things REAL quick!

At a certain point they should be fired.
There should also be a public national database that identifies police with questionable behavior. And makes anyone hiring them in law enforcement even more liable.
