A group of Kearny Mesa strippers is suing the city of San Diego, alleging police held 25 dancers against their will. The strippers filed the claim Monday after the March 6 incident.
Surveillance video captured dancers lining up to be photographed as an officer takes their information. Police say they were doing a routine inspection to check the dancers' business permits and work cards. So, I got up against the locker and [the officer] is standing really far. She's taking a photo of my entire body. Murphy showed 10News her work card which already had her picture.
She says officers would not let them leave and questioned them about personal information. San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman would only say the detectives do conduct random inspections.
