"At least 20 women who were held in a SF jail say earlier this year deputies ordered women to strip down in front of each other while the deputies laughed and filmed them. The sheriff is looking into allegations, and lawsuits could follow. Mission Local reports that 'at least 20 women' say they were subjected to strip searches that were recorded on video by Sheriff's deputies when the women were incarcerated at SF County Jail."
"Over the summer, it came to light that SF Sheriff's Office Chief of Staff Richard Jue had a hit-and-run accident in a city-owned vehicle and submitted a false report about it (he was placed on administrative leave, got a slap on the wrist, and was allowed to retire). Last month, we learned that a deputy who lied to the FBI to protect Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow was rehired by the department, at the direct recommendation of Sheriff Paul Yamamoto."
At least 20 women held at San Francisco County Jail allege deputies ordered strip searches, filmed the searches with body-worn cameras, laughed, and threatened to post the footage online. Seventeen women have filed claims with the city asserting they were subjected to a mass, unlawful, and degrading strip search in the jail’s B-Pod on May 22, 2025, and that harassment, intimidation, and recording continued. Reported details include male deputies' body-worn cameras showing blinking green lights indicating recording. The sheriff's office is investigating, and the claims indicate state or federal lawsuits may follow.
