Twenty-five dancers from Cheetahs Gentlemen’s Club have filed a civil rights claim against the San Diego Police Department, alleging that officers took unnecessarily revealing pictures of their tattoos during a raid.
As reported by NBC 7 San Diego, ten officers raided the club on March 6 and “detained dancers against their will” without having probable cause or a warrant to justify the detention.
They ordered the women to pose in various positions so the police could photograph the tattoos on their nearly nude bodies, all the while making “arrogant and demanding comments” and telling the women to “smile,” the claim states.
One dancer, Brittany Murphy, told NBC 7 “I got my pictures taken from at least my knees upwards, and I’m half dressed. I felt kind of violated and like my rights were not there.”
