Five police officers have sued Detroit police, saying that they were forced to go on leave once their bosses realized they were pregnant, even if they could perform their duties.

The officers are challenging a policy that prevents them from working unless a doctor certifies them capable of crawling in confined spaces, jump and forcibly make arrests.

The lawsuit seeks financial damages and restoration of seniority.
