Pigs strip mom, remove tampon in public during traffic stop

Florida mom claims cop 'forcibly' removed her tampon during traffic stop

By Sevil Omer, NBC News

A Florida sheriff’s department is denying a woman's claim that she was strip-searched in public and had her tampon “forcibly” removed by a female officer during a 2011 traffic stop with her children in the car.

Leila Tarantino filed a lawsuit on Aug. 3 in U.S. District Court in Florida's Ocala County against the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. She alleges she was not only frisked but that a female officer removed her tampon during a roadside search on July 17.

The lawsuit names Citrus County Sheriff Jeffrey J. Dawsey and six officers, referred to as “John Doe Officers 1-5” and “Jane Doe Officer,” as defendants.

The sheriff's office denied claims.

“The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office wants to go on record as saying the allegations made in this lawsuit are not only ludicrous, but completely untrue,” it said in a statement released to NBC News on Monday. “No strip search was conducted, and the plaintiff’s tampon was never forcibly removed by any deputy.”

Tarantino alleges that she was pulled over by an officer in Beverly Hills, Fla., after she had stopped at a stop sign on South Columbus Street. She said her two children were passengers in the vehicle at the time of the alleged 4 p.m. incident.

She accuses the officer of pulling her over, pointing a gun at her, yanking her out of her vehicle, handcuffing her behind her back, then throwing her in the back of his squad car, according to the lawsuit. Tarantino claims she asked why she had been pulled over and the officer didn’t respond.

She claims she waited in the police cruiser for two hours and when other officers arrived, she was frisked and strip-searched at the side of a busy road, the lawsuit alleges. She said her children had been waiting in the woman's vehicle the entire time. The lawsuit's account:

“During her detention, PLAINTIFF was frisked and strip searched twice at the side of the busy road, in plain view of passers by. During one of the strip searches, PLAINTIFF had a tampon forcibly removed by JANE DOE OFFICER.

"At no point was a drug sniffing dog used to search for contraband,” the lawsuit stated, adding “None of the officers ever found any weapons, drugs, contraband or anything illegal during plaintiff’s detention.”

According to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, Tarantino was issued a criminal citation for violation of restrictions on her driver’s license. She also was issued a written warning for rolling through a stop sign.

Tarantino's lawyer, Matthew W. Birk emailed to NBC News the following statement: "This case is currently in litigation and will be tried in a courtroom, not the press. The allegations made by Ms. Tarantino are set forth in the Complaint, which is a public record. Because of the sensitive nature of this matter, Ms. Tarantino will not be available for comment until after her lawsuit concludes.

Speeding THP trooper causes another fatal crash

Trooper clocked speeding car just before double-fatal Maryville crash

A speeding vehicle caught the attention of a state trooper on U.S. Highway 411 on Tuesday just seconds before the driver slammed into an oncoming car, killing two people.

The 3:44 p.m. crash on U.S. Highway 411 near the intersection with Binfield Road killed Amelia D. Keown Garton, 16, of Maryville according to a report filed by Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper John Pedigo.

Also killed in the impact was John C. Perkins, 44, also of Maryville.

Perkins was driving a 1999 Chrysler Sebring northbound on U.S. Highway 411 when he passed Pedigo, who was operating radar on the highway. The Sebring was traveling in the fast lane of U.S. Highway 411.

"He had just clocked the vehicle speeding and was attempting to turn around," said Capt. Cheryl Sanders, who commands the Knoxville District of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Pedigo had to turn his cruiser around to go after the Sebring and had not yet started to chase the vehicle, Sanders said. The captain was unsure if Pedigo had activated his blue lights or siren to facilitate turning around on the busy roadway.

"He had not initiated a pursuit," Sanders said. "When he (Pedigo) crested the hill, the wreck had already occurred."

Keown Garton was traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 411 in a 1999 Ford Taurus in the fast lane when the Sebring came into her lane, Pedigo noted in his report. Keown Garton was using a seat belt.

The Sebring "crossed the center turn lane and traveled into the fast lane of southbound traffic, striking (the Taurus) head on," Pedigo wrote.

Perkins, who also was using a seat belt, died after being admitted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said this morning.

Pedigo ordered tests on Perkins to determine if alcohol or drugs played a part in the crash. There was no indication of alcohol or drug use by Keown Garton, the trooper stated on the report.

Before Perkins died, Pedigo's initial report stated charges were pending against him.

Cops rape woman in roadside stripsearch during traffic stop, remove tampon in view of public

Tarantino sues Florida police over strip search

Leila Tarantino was pulled over for rolling through a stop sign last year, but being caught by the cops wasn’t what surprised her. The woman has filed a lawsuit because she claims an officer “forcibly” removed her tampon during a strip search.

Attorneys for Tarantino have filed a civil action suit against the government of Citrus County, Florida, Sheriff Jeffrey Dawsey and six unnamed police officers whom she says were involved in an irregular traffic stop last July that constitutes what they believe is excessive use of force.

According to the claim filed last week in US District Court in Florida, Tarantino was detained by police for around two hours on July 17, 2011 after allegedly disobeying a posted stop sign in Beverly Hills, FL. The woman’s attorneys claim that a cop had originally flagged their client through the sign after she stopped at an intersection, but immediately after she was pulled over by the same officer, who then approached Tarantino’s car at gunpoint.

The claim continues to allege that Tarantino was handcuffed and detained while her children waited in the backseat of her car without ever being charged with a crime. During her detainment, an unnamed Jane Doe officer frisked and strip searched the woman “twice at the side of [a] busy road, in plain view of passersby.”

“During one of the strip searches,” they claim, Tarantino “had a tampon forcibly removed” by the female officer.

“None of the officers had any individualized suspicion” about the plaintiff, her attorneys write, and the “Citrus County Sheriff’s Department had nothing in its policy and procedures manual regarding when and how it is legal and proper for its officer to perform a strip search and its failure to train its officers evinces a deliberate indifference to the constitution rights of Citrus County citizens.”

The attorneys are saying that Tarantino’s rights are violated multiple times during the incident, during which they say she was unreasonably searched and subjected to intrusive, substantial and unwarranted invasions of privacy. They have demanded a jury trial to try and take the matter to course, where they hope to have the defendants charged with battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Court awards Dragonater $6-Billion (yawn)

September 911 Surprise by The Dragonater as seen on History Channel

My family's law firm was on the Dream Team that "won" this case, and I was one of their investigators. When the US Supreme Court ordered that the Bin Ladens and Saudis had immunity for 9/11, the lawyers went to Israel, where Mossad told them to sue Iran. Are you ready for World War 3?

Judge awards 9/11 families $6 billion

1 August 2012

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A New York City judge awarded $6 billion to the families of Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack victims in their lawsuit against al-Qaida and parties in Iran.

U.S. Magistrate Frank Maas' Monday ruling was the first to impose civil penalties against those responsible for the 2001 terror plot that killed nearly 3,000 people, the New York Daily News reported.

The $6 billion would be paid out to 110 survivors and the estates of 47 victims, including Victor Saracini, who was the captain of United Airlines Flight 175, which struck the south tower of the World Trade Center.

"It's hard being happy, but I am happy about it," said Saracini's wife, Ellen, of Yardley, Pa. "But it opens up old wounds. We were never in it for a lawsuit. I wanted to know what happened to my husband."

It is unclear whether the plaintiffs will actually receive any money.

Plaintiffs' lawyer Tom Mellon said his legal team may seek the seizure of Iranian state assets overseas.

Last year, U.S. District Judge George Daniels found Iran, its Grand Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei and the regime's Lebanese client, Hezbollah, aided al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden and the Taliban in the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Mellon said international seizures are common in the business world, "but in the terror world, this is uncharted territory."

Saracini said she doesn't care about the money.

"I never was in this for the money. I wanted accountability," she said. "The money will never bring back my husband, so I don't care about it."

ETR Nazis ATTACK! - Is it really a public forum when nobody goes there anymore, by ban or by boredom? Is it really fun to be called curse words for actually knowing how to ride, or by mods complaining about curse words? The ethnic cleansing of the Dragon is not only on US129, it's on the ethernet.

Maryville Daily Times

On Friday Brent Matheson bore his own rugged cross down the shoulder of Highway 411. “The Lord told me to build this cross and carry it,” Matheson said. The cross is made from spare wood Matheson found and gutter nails hold the structure together.
