Portland Cops Sued For $200K After Male Officer Allegedly 'Gropes' Trans Driver
http://www.queerty.com/portland-cops-sued-for-200k-after-male-officer-allegedly-gropes-trans-driver-20101102/Chloe Lucero, a 27-year-old whose "outward appearance" appears male but is identified as a woman on her driver's license, is suing Portland's police after male officer Kevin Macho allegedly groped her top and bottom parts during a traffic stop — instead of waiting for a female officer, as Lucero requested (although the department's manual does not require compliance with such requests). She'd like $200,000 please. The Oregonian reports:
According to the suit, officer Kevin Macho pulled over Lucero on Nov. 2, 2008 near Northeast Schuyler Street and First Avenue as she was driving home from a birthday brunch with her family. The suit states that Macho screamed "Give me the bottle," then opened the driver's side door and yanked Lucero by her left arm in an attempt to get her out of the car.
