Suit: Police ‘busted’ sticker violates rights

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania woman is suing police over a “busted” sticker applied to her home before she had her day in court.

Deana Perry has sued the Middletown Police Department, saying in part that officers unfairly labeled her by putting the bright yellow sticker on her window after a raid three years ago.

The sticker read “SAY NO TO DRUGS” and “BUSTED” above the department’s name and logo.

The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports Perry’s husband was convicted on drug charges, but charges against her were dropped. Now she’s suing in federal court, claiming her constitutional rights were violated.

Honestly, what is it with these types who feel compelled to leave their calling cards on their victims? Is it ultra macho? Is it grasping for some sort of elusive bad-ass cachet? Or is it just insecure men who never quite achieved the level of professionalism or respect they thought they deserved?

I hope Ms. Perry winds up owning a substantial portion of the Middletown Police Department. Do your fucking job, cops; leave the Hollywood theatrics to the movies.
