Woman accuses cop of repeated asking for her to 'shake her bra' in Wisconsin

TRENTON, MI (KTRK) -- A woman in Michigan is speaking out about an August traffic stop in which she says the officer asked her to shake her bra.

The routine stop turned into a search for contraband, with a drug-sniffing dog being called to the scene.

It happened after a passenger reportedly admitted to having a small amount of marijuana.

The woman says the experience left her feeling degraded and believes the officer handled the situation improperly.

"Made me feel like I was sexually intimidated, humiliated, violated, and very embarrassing," Dawn Hoods says.

"I would agree with our client, who feels that after the first time, it got to be too much," Scott Mussin, Hoods' attorney, says.

"I think that if the officer suspected that she had contraband in her bra, and it didn't come out with the first shake. You needed to get a female officer nearby, or to the scene to check it."

The woman is asking for $50,000 to settle her complaint against the officer.
