A former Oakland police officer must pay $40,000 out of his own pocket to two men who were illegally strip-searched in public and have already been awarded at least $100,000 apiece in damages.

Spencer Troy Lucas and Kirby Bradshaw had their pants pulled down on a busy West Oakland street in 2005 by police after then-Officer Ingo Mayer stopped them for no lawful reason, U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel wrote in an August ruling after a bench trial.

In the ruling, the judge ordered the city to pay $105,000 in compensatory damages to Lucas and $100,000 to Bradshaw.

On Friday, the judge ordered Mayer to pay $25,000 to Lucas and $15,000 to Bradshaw. "She thought it was important to send a message to penalize this officer for his flagrant violation of constitutional rights," the men's attorney, Michael Haddad, said Monday.

Mayer retired on disability as a result of the trial, the judge said.

Lucas and Bradshaw testified "to their humiliation and feelings of degradation as a result of this public spectacle, as well as the subsequent recurrent memories of feeling terrorized," Patel wrote.

Lucas was driving a Cadillac when he and Bradshaw were pulled over by Mayer at 32nd Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way in West Oakland on Dec. 15, 2005.

Mayer testified that he had stopped the car for a traffic violation but could not provide a reason for having done so, Patel said.

Mayer handcuffed Lucas and undid his belt buckle, causing Lucas' pants to fall to his ankles, Patel wrote. Then the officer asked Lucas if he had any drugs in his buttocks, pulled his boxer shorts halfway down and shook them against his genitals as a crowd gathered to watch, the judge wrote.

Another officer similarly searched Bradshaw at Mayer's direction, Bradshaw testified.

City officials had no immediate comment Monday.
