A lawsuit alleging an illegal search of a woman during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally four years ago will go forward.

A federal judge on Wednesday denied summary judgment in favor of the city of Sturgis, its police chief and two people working as deputized police officers at the 2006 rally. They argued they have immunity from civil lawsuits.

A Colorado woman is suing them for civil rights violations. She says there was no basis for an outer body search and a body cavity search of her after police stopped a vehicle for an open container violation and found cocaine on one occupant. She was not arrested or charged with a crime.
