Two Texas women, Angel Dobbs, 38, and niece Ashley Dobbs, 24, are suing after state troopers performed an invasive cavity search that was recorded on video.

Female trooper Kellie Helleson is seen in the footage aggressively searching the private parts of Angel Dobbs, 38, and her niece, Ashley Dobbs, 24, on the side of the road.

The two women claim the trooper used the same gloves on both of them.

The duo was initially stopped by fellow officer David Farrell for littering after he saw one of them throw a cigarette out of the car window.

However, Farrell reportedly questioned the women about marijuana even though there was not any evidence present of the drug.

Angel Dobbs was even forced to undertake a roadside sobriety test, which she passed, before the two were given warnings for littering.

The women are suing the two state troopers involved and the head of their department, citing they were subjected to an illegal and humiliating cavity search.

Helleson has been suspended with pay as an investigation continues.
