Second Strip-and-Freeze Suit Hits Courts

Deborah Flick, 39, a student teacher, on Wednesday charged the city of San Francisco and its police and sheriff"s departments with strip-searching and jailing her in a so-called cold room without any criminal charges filed against her, according to Bay City News. She says she was arrested in March and forcibly strip-searched twice after she refused to consent to a search. The charges follow an April lawsuit by anti-logging protester Mary Bull claiming she was illegally strip-searched and kept nude overnight in a cold cell last November. Attorneys for the two women are seeking to have the two lawsuits consolidated and certified as a class-action case on behalf of all arrestees who are illegally searched or jailed in cold rooms. A hearing on whether to grant class-action status is scheduled before a federal judge in San Francisco next March.
