Which is, to say (literally, given that this is explained and offered with a hands-off demonstration prior to the beginning of the pat-down), placing one hand on the hip and the other on the inner-thigh. Previously, from that point, we went straight down the leg. Now, the hand on the thigh rises until it can't easily go any further (i.e.: "Until it meets resistance." "Resistance" isn't a body part. You can't put your hand through a steel door because it meets resistance there, too) then go down.
This precisely is the crap you need to stop. that is offensive. We are not perps being sent through a custodial search.
Everything else? Aside from us using a sliding motion instead of the old "crush and feel" technique, it hasn't changed.
Yes, but that is a major change as the sliding is highly offensive. You need to stop it and go back to what people have been doing for decades. We are not perps, for pete's sake!
