Just imagine how crime would be different if we allowed it. No better person than police to know what’s needed. You have liberal judges weeks and months later from a court house free these criminals….police are on the ground smelling this stuff from the housing, clothes and food.

That strip search policy is wildly unconstitutional. And what should be illegal is any off site location for bringing detainees. If you can't do it in a police station, you can't do it. We need a full FBI investigation into the entire police dept.

@jamesphillips5868 8 дней назад

They do that but only upon entry. A lot of psychological changes happen while on the job and you’re never reevaluated. Police officers make the top of the list for people who suffer from PTSD and most times don’t seek the help or the department is underfunded and don’t have the help.

It needs to be investigated top to bottom for evidence of foul play. Its a black site operated outside the law and conveniently tucked away from scrutiny from the public and from any oversight. Meaning everything they can't do to someone in a county jail or police station is fair game in a place like that, including murder.

@juned1719 8 месяцев назад

Can you imagine the sheer fear that must have gripped these victims being driven to an offsite warehouse where none of your lives one knows where you are and what’s happening to you.

Technically it was a police facility, just an extention with less oversight. The oversight is the issue of the situation, numerous cities have off site areas because of distance to the main department and Yes sometimes the off site is less formal so it can speed up a investigation process to determine if a individual needs further processing. But the problem arises is when officers forget Professionalism and integrity then with the lack of oversight these things become a problem like with the incidents in the news story, probably a few bad characters causing issues for everyone.

What was taking place was criminal and against the law. The very core of the issue you speak of. The main issue that started the investigations into the department was the dozen innocent individuals that were beaten, tortured, and illegally held in custody.
