The police department in Puyallup, Washington has a practice and custom
of ordering female DUI suspects to undress completely in a room subject
to video surveillance. This isn’t a security measure, since the women
had already been patted down for weapons. And the procedure is carried
out even when the women aren’t being booked on charges.
The irony, Egan points out, is that the women subject to this mistreatment are “suspected of misdemeanors and taken to a facility where officers are committing felonies.”
