Cops strip a melanin man naked in public and search his genitals for drugs.

Clarence Green and his family were stripped nude on the side of the road by police after an illegal traffic stop. Officers stripped them and groped their genitals in broad daylight on a public roadway. The officers then went to Green's home and illegally searched it. The family was awarded a $35,000 settlement after their rights were trampled by Baton Rouge's finest. The incident is a testament to the untouchable nature of criminal cops and the violations they can commit, writes CNN's, Robin Cevallos.

In the name of the drug war, police found a gun in Green's possession, which is entirely legal in the state of Louisiana, she says, except that he was on probation for possession of drugs, which prohibited him from having a firearm.  However, the gun was in his pocket, not behind his genitals where they were looking, Cevallos says, and it was in a different pocket, not where they searched Green's private parts.  Police also claimed to find marijuana on Green's teen brother, but he was not on probation. Cops in Louisiana search a home without a warrant, trying to collect a DNA sample from a child without his mother's consent. "If you don't shut the f**k up," one officer threatened, "I'm gonna come in and I'm gonna f*** you up…You think I'm playing with you?" A federal judge called the actions an "abject violation" of the Fourth Amendment rights of a man and his brother.

The state eventually dropped the charges, but not before the judge tore into the police officers involved in the case, calling their actions "wanton disregard" for the man's constitutional rights. The judge found the officer's conflicting accounts about the circumstances leading up to the traffic stop had been "troubling at best," and called his testimony "trying to prove a case that may justifiably be considered to be a trespass subject to prosecution under Louisiana law"
