Vice Squad Forced Strippers to Pose for Nearly Nude Photos During Raid, Lawsuit Alleges
In sunny San Diego
A lawsuit filed on behalf of 30 strippers at two local nightspots was filed Wednesday seeking damages from the city of San Diego and the police chief for allegedly violating the strippers' rights during licensing inspections.
The strippers were employed at Cheetahs Gentlemen's Club and Club Expose when members of the police department's vice squad detained them and forced them to pose for pictures during "raids" in 2013 and 2014, according to the lawsuit filed in Superior Court.

Perks of the job for our "heroes in blue", I suppose...
At least the cops didn't rape them.
