Me: 6'1'' white male 210 lbs athletic build
my gf 5'7'' asian around 135 lbs slender build

I was celebrating my birthday this past weekend with my gf in a semi-large downtown city where we live in CA. We know we are going to drink so we decide to get a hotel in advance so we could enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about driving. She books the hotel under her name. We arrived at the hotel around 6pm where we open a bottle of vodka and make 2 mixed drinks each before we head to our 1hr massage which was reserved at 6:30pm. Just before 7:45pm we return from our relaxing massages to our hotel for a little break before we head out to dinner. around 8:15pm we leave for our 8:30pm dinner reservations to a local sushi restaurant, we enjoyed food and 4 sake shots each before we leave for the bars around 10:30pm (we have the receipt). We then head to a local bar and have 2 drinks each (keep in mind after dinner on full stomachs). We were feeling pretty good but def not drunk. Buzzed would be a good description of our status. We head back to our hotel which is in walking distance of the bars/sushi restaurant and arrive at the hotel lobby around 12:30am. We are holding hands and making out etc…the security guard (female) tells us to be quiet as we past by. We kinda blew her off and continue on our way. So we get to our room and do our thing, and we proceed to make love and what not. about 15 min later we get a very loud knock on the door, so I go to the door thinking it was going to be security guard. Well, the security guard (female) was present with 2 city police officers (both male). I tell my gf "the cops are here!!!" she's confused but didn't really think much of it and stayed in bed. Cop #1 (tall clean cut looking guy) tells me that the security officer said she heard what she seems to be a domestic violence going on in the room. So I tell the officer as I'm standing behind the door (i'm still naked) that we were just making love. He ask's me to step out of the room. I ask if I can throw some shorts on first and he allows it. So I turn around throw some shorts on and walk back to the door. Once I open the door to walk out the security guard and cop #2 (short, skinny, glasses, seems pissed) walk past me (with no ok from us to enter) to approach my gf who's butt naked clutching a pillow to conceal herself on the bed. *So back to me* I go outside as he cuff's me and ask's me whats going on, I tell him we were making love and that's it. I figured this was standard procedure. I look back in the room and can see a terrified look in my go's eyes as cop #2 is just standing there staring at her while she hides behind a pillow. She's asking if she can cloth herself because she was obviously uncomfortable with this dude staring at her. I tell cop #1 that my gf is naked and needs to put clothes on several times. Obviously she's not ok with that dude staring at her! I turn back around to look in the room and the door shuts! At this point I raise my voice and demand the door to be open!!! I yell "my gf is naked in there with that guy and you need to open this door!!! "After yelling this 5/6 times he finally does. when the door opens I see my gf still clutching the pillow and a phone in her hand telling cop#2 and the security guard that she wants her lawyer and wants them to leave immediately. I also tell them they need to leave! They had their chance to see if the DV call was valid and they needed to leave! Cop#2 still sits there with his hands crossed over his chest as if he's enjoying this. I'm pleading with cop#1 to get them out of there, this is not right!!! as I turn my head back into the room cop#2 all of a sudden smacks the phone out of my gf's hand and THROWS her on the ground face first (she's still naked) he proceeds to put his knee on her back and cuffs her. Just after he cuffed her the security guard (total wanna be cop) walks over and bends down and says "YOU'RE BEING EVICTED" at this point my gf is shocked and freaked out but not struggling to free herself or anything. The cop kinda sits there for about 15 seconds on her back and finally the security guard throws a dress over her and they escort us out. They put us into a cop car together which is super hot and very humid with the windows up. I look at my gf and she has a busted up eye (rug burn, swollen) and a bruises everywhere. We were both kinda freaking out and kept asking each other what happened. They left us in the car for a good 10 minutes before they finally came back. I could see them discussing what happened and what they were going to do. Finally cop#1 opens my door and tells me to get out, I do so and they take off my cuffs. They go on to tell me they are arresting my gf for "trespassing" and "resisting arrest". I'm lost at this point and tell them how did she trespass??? She ordered the room and paid for it?!!! I go on to tell them they responded to a domestic violence call and they arrest HER for trespassing?!?!??! WTF???? they escort back up to the room to gather our stuff. I'm asking them the whole way back wth is up with this?!?!? I get our belongings and go back down to the lobby. both cop#1 and cop#2 get in the car and drive off with my gf. A 3'rd cop shows up and proceeds to tell me to get lost, I'm shirtless with 2 bags in my hand and fed up at this moment. I walk away and leave the scene freely. I go to my gf's car and load out stuff in it. I'm still buzzed at this point so I didn't want to drive. I sit in the passenger seat and make calls!! I finally get a hold of the srgt who basically defends his officers and tells me he can't do anything. by this time I'm so frustrated and decide to drive off and leave the area. The srgt told me where they brought her so I head that direction and stop and get some food to help my buzz go away. I get a hold of a bail bonds man and proceed to post her bail which was $5K and I had to pay around $550. They finally let her out at 10am and OMG she is bruised and swollen up and totally defeated, no dignity, nothing. Just a broken woman who spent the night in jail. I'm pissed and defeated too. She heads home and I go home and we talk on the phone the whole time trying to piece the night and events together. When I got home I called the hotel and asked for the manager who says he's reviewing the report and will get back to me. I told him my gf was arrested by the cops and we were was never informed by the hotel security to keep it down or anything. Anyways I pass out (no sleep the night before) and wake up to a voice message on my cell phone. Here is his word for word account that he left on my voicemail which is saved for evidence. (THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE MORON)

"Mr. John Doe, this is "so and so" from &#^@% hotel (major name hotel) Ok, here's the way it went. ummm you did get in touch with security, they did inform you to be quiet in the halls uh uh while uh you were walking in the halls, they saw you going into room 627 and she told you uh you have to be quiet uhhh when they came up uh the second time they said they heard SLAPPING AND YELLING and uh we are not allowed to get into a domestic disputes, the police were called, Ms Jane was resisting arrest, she refused to be arrested, she refused to put her clothes on uh and she was cited for trespassing and resisting arrest, so that is the story, uhhh it's bad news for you but that is the story it is going to the district attorneys office, you can contact the police dept, uhhhh for further information, and thats all i can say about it, there's nothing else uh uh to fill ya in on uhhh you were contacted, there was a dispute, there was loud, there appeared to be domestic dispute, police were called huh and she resisted arrest. that will be all i have to say on the matter and the rest will be with the police dept and uhh uh the DA"

THAT WAS WORD FOR WORD!

So this is where I'm tripping out. They went to our room for a domestic dispute call, I inform them we were having sex and we were NOT fighting, and they end up arresting her and roughing her up for trespassing? Nobody at any point asked us to leave. otherwise I'm sure Mr. incoherent hotel manager would have specified that in his 1:35 voicemail that we were asked to leave. It was only after they tackled my gf to the ground that the security guard said "YOU'RE BEING EVICTED"….At no point was my gf being aggressive. The only thing I heard her say OVER and OVER was I want to talk to me lawyer which she was trying to call before the phone was hit out of her hand and she was forced to the ground. I'm sure they are going to say I was too drunk to give an accurate account of what happened but if that's the case WHY would they let me walk the streets endangering the public or myself. If I was too drunk then they should have arrested me for being drunk in public once they uncuffed me.

We have since lawyer'd up and hired a private investigator. We still don't have a copy of the police report. I can't wait to see what they have on there.

I'm guessing they might say her bruises were from me, however why didn't I get arrested then?? They are going to say I was drunk, but if I was drunk why did they let me out i public?? Im not sure how they are going to say we were trespassing when we were NEVER asked to leave…and if they claim they did they need to give us some time to get out of there. But I swear to you they NEVER said we have to leave. WEIRD!

She has since been to the Dr.'s twice, might have a broken wrist, bruised everywhere, BUSTED eye and is going to see a therapist tomorrow.

We are planning on suing the city and the major hotel chain who allowed this to happen. Internal Affiars already called me and wants to meet with us. We declined and advised them to speak with our lawyer. I AM GOING AFTER THEM WITH ALL I HAVE!!!!

if you have a take on the story that can help me understand what happened and what I may have missed in the communication from the officers I would appreciate it.

The above nonsense you spouted", makes your story unreadable.

You have an attorney - ask him your questions.

It seems clear cut they distinguished between your cooperative behavior and her unruly behavior behind the closed door. If you value the relationship, play along. Realistically, you are likely going to accomplish nothing in terms of "retribution".

GF beaten and possibly sexually assaulted by cops!! (long read) What's your take?
my take:

You apparently do not understand that they were apparently telling your GF to do something. She somehow believed she had the right to refuse and call her lawyer. She didn't. Since she was apparently not cooperative, they took necessary action to arrest her.
The fact you think you were not making too much noise, even after you were told to be quiet shows you were too drunk to realize how loud you actually were.

Your suggestion that your GF was possibly sexually assaulted is asinine. You have posted nothing that would support that.

this isn't the comedy forum. You have nothing to sue either entity for.

I AM GOING AFTER THEM WITH ALL I HAVE!!!!
so far you have nothing.

OP, here is what I see.

Your girlfriend drank way too much.

Based on a rough calculation of the length of time and the number of drinks you describe, her BAC was somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.16 or higher. She was sloppy drunk.

You on the other hand, having 8 drinks in the same period of time, were possibly impaired with a BAC between 0.4-0.6. (using the basic BAC calculators on the web)

The way she responded to the police after you left the room is unknown to you, since you admit being out of eye shot of what was happening. Sure, it is possible the officers wanted to get their kicks by assaulting her, but this would be a tremendous risk for the police to take in front of the hotel security guard whom they likely did not know and whose reaction to improper behavior would be unpredictable. If they were alone and knew each other, willing to cover for each other, I could imagine more sinister behavior more readily.

I agree that your girlfriend needs counseling, both for the humiliation she experienced but also for her alcohol use. She may be able to match you wit to wit, but as a gentleman you might encourage her not to match you drink for drink. Alcohol reacts with female body chemistry more intensely than males, and to boot, she weighs quite a bit less.

In addition, even based on your description it sounds like you all were carried away in the lobby. If your relations were boisterous, they were disturbing to others and someone thought that a welfare check was needed. This is another lesson. If you want to be loud in boudoir, be careful whose boudoir you choose.

I think you need to move the decimal point one to the left. .4 is about the lethal threshold. I am sure you meant .04-.06;)

it is quite possible they simply wanted to get her version of the situation (remember, they were responding to a possible DV call) outside of the OP's intrusions (recall: yelled at them many times) and if there was an actual DV situation, you do remove separate the parties so one does not intimidate the other into lying.

where was the humiliation? Sorry but if the police report to a call and there is a naked person there, they are not going to close their eyes. Too much chance of the cop getting hurt. Besides, why was she using a pillow? No sheets at that hotel? Why did she have her phone in her hand? I suspect they were telling her to comply with the arrest. They actually could have been telling her to get dressed but since she was so insistent on using her phone, I can imagine her going; no, I'm going to call my lawyer. Cops go; no, get dressed you are under arrest. she doesn't put the phone down, the put it down for her.

Ummm... yeah... you are correct! If OP were a ghost however, him doing whatever it takes to get even would take on a whole new level of interest. (thank you for the correction)

I completely agree. I was simply trying, perhaps inarticulately, to point out that I find it unlikely the police would assault her in the presence of a hotel security guard they likely did not know.

where was the humiliation?
Ever been a fully naked female in front of 3 men whom you did not expect to see you nude and whom you did not invite to see you nude? If you have had this experience and didn't find it humiliating, I am all ears for the story.

I don't think I stated anywhere the police acted improperly. Anyway, I love to watch Cops, have for years. Naked people being arrested is an occasional highlight.

Never been there but personally, humiliation would be the last think on my mind. Scared or angered more likely...

and she had a pillow (where were the sheets?). If she was so bothered, when BF answered the door, why wouldn't she cover up? Then when the cops entered, still she didn't cover up.



and I did just notice something:

Once I open the door to walk out the security guard and cop #2 (short, skinny, glasses, seems pissed) walk past me (with no ok from us to enter) to approach my gf who's butt naked clutching a pillow to conceal herself on the bed.
Well, the security guard (female) was present

gf was in the room with a female, non-cop and a male cop yet the OP suggest GF was sexually assaulted. OP has no reason to even suggest there was a sexual assault.

Thanks for your responses everybody. I guess I can't paint a good enough picture for you on what her injuries are. I'm sure some of you could care less and just say "well, she was drunk and....." It's not illegal to be drunk in a hotel room. We did the responsible thing and got a room because we knew we were going to drink. We both worked the next day and didn't drink ourselves under the table. She did have alcohol in her system however, she was very much composed when she told them to leave. Not loud at all. I saw and heard most of the conversation. To be honest, the cop didn't really say much, he just stood there. (I know this sounds made up or skewed, but I have nothing to gain seeing how this is my first and probably last post in this forum. I want honest feedback and thats it) When they didn't leave she said she was calling her lawyer. She was NEVER given a command to "leave the room" or "put your hands behind your back". She was well within her right to say she is calling her lawyer after she told them what was actually happening in the room. They had no other reason to be in there! They should have left once they determined that there was no Domestic Dispute. If she was sooo drunk why didn't they take a BAC level once she was sent to jail?? The only reason they took her to jail is because they injured her and wanted to protect themselves.

So I guess you just are not following....They went to our room for DV! They was no DV, we were doing it!!! should have been end of story!
Which happened as a result of your initial public drunkenness. Had the room been the first interaction, it would have been hotel security only and you would likely only have been warned. I used to manage at hotels years ago. I have tossed more than one group out on their ears.

How is what you call "public drunkenness" (which def wasn't the case) a result of a domestic violence call? Who can say we were drunk in public? Is hotel security allowed to determine if we were drunk in public? If by the time the cops to our room we were "drunk" can they arrest us based on the hotel's claim?? Or should they assess the current situation and determine that the original complaint was false and leave the room. Like I said, she was not "sloppy drunk" this you will have to take my word on. I know you were not there and don't know the entire story.

We are holding hands and making out etc…the security guard (female) tells us to be quiet as we past by. We kinda blew her off and continue on our way.
Alrighty then. :cool:
