An Arizona mother has captured the horrifying moment a cop 'illegally' entered her home and arrested her while she was naked.

Esmeralda Rossi said she felt 'violated' and 'molested' when veteran officer and former Marine Doug Rose and his partner barged into her Chandler home while she was in the shower.

Police turned up to the address after receiving a 911 call after she had an argument with her estranged husband at his home.

Her daughter came into the bathroom and told her two cops were in the house, so she grabbed a towel and confronted them.

Esmeralda Rossi's daughter captured the horrifying moment a cop 'illegally' entered her Chandler, Arizona, home and arrested her while she was naked. She said she felt 'violated' and 'molested' when veteran officer and former Marine Doug Rose and his partner barged in

Rossi told ABC 15 that Rose, who had been on the force for 20 years, became very aggressive and she told him to wait at the door so she could go get a cell phone.

At that point they started to record the encounter.

Rossi starts screaming 'don't touch me' when Rose puts handcuffs on her, while she is wearing just a towel. Her daughter is also heard making a distressing outburst.

Rose then asks her: 'You have no clothes on at all,' to which Rossi's daughter says: 'She was in the shower. What are you doing?'

Then Rose lectures Rossi, saying: 'When a cop shows up... you're not the one in charge. I don't care if this is your house. Do you understand me?'

After 20 minutes, Rose then allegedly made Rossi's daughter take the handcuffs off.

Rossi's daughter came into the bathroom and told her two cops were in the house, so she grabbed a towel and confronted them

She told the station: 'I felt helpless. I felt violated. And honestly, I felt molested.

'It made me very uncomfortable. So I closed the door. I turn to go into my living room, and I probably get about five steps in; and all of a sudden, I just hear boots running in after me, telling me stop or I’ll arrest you.

She admitted taking an attitude with the officer, but her attorney says anyone would be agitated in her situation.

After looking over the footage, Chandler police determined Rose, who owns his own company performing background checks called DFA solutions, had entered the home illegally and without probable cause. She was never charged with a crime.

The investigation also determined that Rose didn’t document arresting or un-arresting the woman or the fact that she was naked.

There was also no body camera footage documenting the encounter. He has now retired as a result of the investigation.

The second officer, who contacted their superior to report Rose's disturbing actions, has been cleared of any wrongdoing.

Marc Victor, Rossi's attorney, said: 'This was not the proper treatment of a citizen. This was disgusting. This was barbaric.

'Any one of us would be upset if a police officer barged into our homes without permission. She had a right to be upset.'
