Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

February 4, 2008

If you're the victim of an assault, it might be best not to call the police. You could be assaulted a second time by the police, arrested, strip-searched, and left naked in a holding cell for six hours. This is what happened to Salem, Ohio resident Hope Steffey.

When the police arrived, they asked to see Hope's driver's license. She mistakenly handed them the license that belonged to her late sister, which Hope keeps as a memento. The deputy refused to return the license when Hope realized her mistake. She was arrested for ?disorderly conduct? and ?resisting arrest.? At the jail, seven deputies of both sexes violently disrobed her as she shrieked in horror. She suffered a cracked tooth, bruises, and a back injury.

Stark County Sheriff Tim Swanson insists that the sexual assault on the slender, terrified 46-year-old woman was necessary in order to protect his officers and other prisoners.

When the police become predatory assailants, what number do we call for help?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
