“Thirty strippers in the San Diego area filed a lawsuit against the San Diego Police Department on Wednesday, saying they were forced to be photographed while nude or nearly nude while officers claimed to be inspecting the clubs where they worked.

The lawsuit is the latest in a series of sexually tinged scandals involving the department.

In the strippers’ case, attorney Dan Gilleon said officers made “arrogant and demeaning comments and ordered them to expose body parts to ostensibly photograph their tattoos.

“The police officers had no legitimate safety concerns, nor were the manner of the detentions commensurate with any articulatable threat,” he said.

Since 2012, four San Diego police officers have been charged with sexual assaults — two against more than five victims each. One was convicted at trial, another pleaded no contest, and two others are fighting the criminal charges filed against them.” *
