What is RAS?

Reasonable articulable suspicion. In my case, an imaginary dog "alerted" an unnamed handler. So that gave them RAS to strip me naked, be jailed, and be made to poop in front of them to ensure there were no drugs that came out.

Contacted several lawyers, nothing to be done, no chance of fighting it. Girl that tried before me, lost.

Gross!

Seems like it's worthy of being publicized. Sincerely .. as a point of protest.

E.g. "Do you want your children to be forced to poop in front of grown men, as many times as they want her to, and for there to be No Law Against This? Democracy..use it." Or something better?

Accompanied by a video illustrating a naked person pooping in front of satisfied Federal agents, and then a scene with a lawyer saying, "there's nothing you can do to fight having that done to you, lady."

It feels like USA needs a re-think around concentration of power in the Federal side of our government.
