Florida Cops Investigated for Making Woman Shake Out Bra at Stop
Behavior called "egregious" and "demeaning"
An investigative report from the Florida State Attorney calls the actions of a Lakeland Police officer during a traffic stop "egregious" and "demeaning."
The report from State Attorney Jerry Hill details what happened to driver Zoe Brugger on May 21. Lakeland Police officer Dustin Fetz initially stopped Brugger and her boyfriend, Larry Fields, saying the Toyota they were in had a headlight out.
The investigation revealed that Officer Fetz suspected Brugger might have been carrying drugs, so he asked her to "pull her shirt up, pull her bra out from her breasts, and to shake."

She is lucky they didnt rape her - Cops in Florida are very low class
Yeah! Where I come from you thank cops if all they do is deprive you of human dignity. Coming from them, it's sort of a compliment.
