So why is the face of the uniformed thug blotted out, but not the victim (er….) suspect?

“Assuming there was a good reason to frisk him, this seems like a responsible and courteous search”
I agree, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t awwwwwwwkward.
When a cop can get away with grabbing the penises of strangers on the street but when I do it I get arrested and put on the Sex Offenders registry. Fascism.
Sen. Larry Craig might have given the officer a tip (money, I mean, you sick bastards).

#10 Chris,
you are so right
I think video would have been better without the title giving it away. It’s annoying (but more understandable) when a newspaper article’s twist is revealed by the title added to the story.
PS Would that be “copping a feel” ?

Funny video, but given that some folks do carry in Thunderwear (raising hand), if a frisk is proper, frisking the, err, usual area for t-wear is.

True. If there was a reason for the frisk, then it had to be thorough. It was just rather embarassing for the officer and citizen alike.
#11 Jeremy: “I’m sure there are really respectful, polite, and tender ways to do a cavity search, too.”
Really???? Wow, Jeremy. Thanks for demonstrating a classic example of an apples v. organges argument. A patdown of the clothing versus a close-up search of the nether regions. Sure, no difference at all.

They make holsters to go on your crotch since it’s not a popular place to frisk. Still a funny video though.

see, Justice Scalia’s got a point

How was that his penis? That guy needs to learn how to wear pants.
That seems like an uncomfortable place to keep your penis.
this will inspire bunches of break kids to duct tape sausages to their stomachs!
When I watched that video, I thought, “Well, that’s definitely a blow to my self-esteem.”
There’s no way in hell I’m the only one of us who thought that.
I’m sure there are really respectful, polite, and tender ways to do a cavity search, too.
I am wondering if I wouldn’t mind if my penis was confused with a Glock.
**Insert “concealed weapon joke ” here **
I think I saw this already in “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything – Julie Newmar”.
This is my rifle, this is my gun. . .

Oh, come on.
We already knew that 3/4 of the guys on the force are there because they confuse pistols with peckers.
