Florida Woman Claims Police Made Her Poop on Her Lawn During Meth Bust

Gawker – by Jay Hathaway

A Florida woman is suing Volusia County and the city of New Smyrna Beach after police officers forced her to poop in her front yard and undress in front of them while they searched her house for meth.

Dawn Brooks says officer brought her outside in handcuffs, and then refused her requests to use the bathroom indoors. They “told her to ‘just use the restroom right there’ in the front yard, which plaintiff did,” according to a district court judge’s summary of the incident.  

Brooks claims that instead of helping her clean herself up and get dressed again—remember, she was handcuffed at the time—the officers had her strip down and put on a plastic jumpsuit, laughing and yelling at her the whole time.

Court documents don’t say whether police found the meth they were reportedly looking for.

Brooks’s complaint alleges the officers violated her Fourth Amendment rights and that the city failed to adequately train the cops who searched her house. Judge Roy Dalton Jr. dismissed her initial claims, saying she failed to show that the need for training was “plainly obvious” and didn’t specifically explain how her rights were violated.

Brooks has until April 4 to submit an amended complaint.

  1. This brings my bad attitude about the cops to a whole new low that I do not even want to hear any more to rationalize what those F`n pigs are about.
    The cops ARE NOT your friend or there to help ya. The cops are now as they always have been you enemy and this is just another example of that.
    The police are the lowest of the low dirty scum bags ever thought of and that is that!!

    1. Yea, see what cops are about. they are either for or against ya and obviously every cop is against the people or else they would not allow this kind of crap to go on and they would go after these cops just like a so called common criminal that they beat and murder for being homless – just like they did to Kelly Thomas, I think his name is/was 🙁 🙁 – and there fore the cops are all for this kind of cop behavior. every one of them pigs

      1. you are 100% correct diggerdan, if a fellow cop allows this type of behavior to continue and doesn’t speak out about it, then they bear responsibility, or guilt by association. If any of them are uncomfortable witnessing such behavior, then don’t keep silent about it, for crying out loud. The ones who look on and find this amusing, it’s as good as having done this yourself. And having a proxy to do your dirty work for you is the same as doing it yourself, too, in my book. And “just taking orders” — nope — guilty.

  2. These sorts of incidents where citizens are subjugated, humiliated, abused. and murdered are becoming more and more common. In fact, they’re increasing at an alarming rate!
    These mad dogs unchained, called cops, need to realize that when the SHTF, those that were hurt by them will provide retribution! Their criminal behavior will be nullified permanently.
