A woman has filed a lawsuit against an Atlanta police officer after being exposed topless during a pre-dawn raid related to police movements against a controversial training center. The incident, which garnered media attention, highlights potential violations of her Fourth Amendment rights. The lawsuit challenges the issue of qualified immunity often claimed by police, insinuating that her treatment was unnecessary punishment. Legal experts see this as a critical case within larger discussions about law enforcement accountability.

The lawsuit names Amy Smith as plaintiff; Atlanta police officer Frances Raymonville-Watson is named as defendant, as she held Ms Smith in custody, unclothed and for hours.
