In England, two Metropolitan Police have been fired after strip-searching a 15-year-old girl at her school, without her parent’s permission or knowledge. A disciplinary panel found trainee detective Kristina Linge and constable Rafal Szmydynski guilty of gross misconduct. Teachers said the girl smelled strongly of cannabis, but when they searched her, they found no drugs. So, they called the police. When cops arrived, they took the girl into a room and strip-searched her. They also found no drugs.
