FBI is investigating alleged abuse in Baton Rouge police warehouse known as the ‘Brave Cave’

A woman has filed a federal lawsuit against two Baton Rouge police officers, accusing them of taking her to a narcotics processing facility known as a "torture warehouse". According to the lawsuit, the officers ordered her to undress and perform a degrading search in front of two male officers and a female officer.
The lawsuit also claims that the Baton Rouge Police Department's Street Crimes Unit strip-searched 1,000 people this year based on reasonable suspicion, many of whom were released without being charged with a crime. This revelation has sparked public outcry against the police department.
Multiple complaints of abuse have been reported from individuals who claim they were mistreated inside the warehouse facility. Attorneys representing victims plan to file additional lawsuits.
