Three people are part of the federal lawsuit alleging eight Chicago police officers searched them illegally.
The attorney for the three people says the police apparently targeted the trio, thinking they were selling drugs.
The lawsuit says on or about May 23rd of last year, the three were stopped near 9040 S. Laflin. Their car was confronted head on by two plain clothed officers in an unmarked Chicago police car.
The lawsuit alleges that, "...an officer "pulled up" a man's shirt...and "pulled his elastic waistband away from his body, and searched down the front of his pants," and that, "a second man had his waistband pulled "away from his body" and was also searched down the front of his pants."
The suit also alleges officers demanded a woman remove her pants to be searched. She told them she was menstruating.
