Cop Arrested For Prostitute 'Strip Search'

A police officer who claimed he was conducting his own prostitution sting and strip search ended up being the one arrested for sexual misconduct for the so-called sting.

Authorities say James Michael Jackson arranged to meet a woman at a local hotel in New Jersey through a service.

But when she arrived, Jackson, showed her his badge and gun and told her she was under arrest. He made her take off her clothes and consent to a 'body cavity search' before letting her go.

Officials say Jackson went too far as an officer when he placed the female prostitute under arrest and performed a strip search.

"And a male to strip-search a female is just not done", they said.

The woman reported the incident to authorities the next day, after she found out Jackson's behavior was illegal. It's reported Jackson will be suspended, and likely be terminated soon after.
