Public anger is mounting after the release of a video showing Ottawa police strip-searching a woman in the presence of male officers.
Ottawa police say they have received more than 100 complaints since an Ottawa judge released the video showing the 2008 strip search of 27-year-old Stacy Bonds.
Bonds was strip-searched after being arrested on Rideau Street for public intoxication — a charge stayed by Justice Richard Lajoie of the Ontario Court of Justice in a verbal ruling issued Oct. 27.

So what do you think, did the Police go too far or do you think they used a reasonable amount of force to control the suspect?
