Previews of Coming Attractions??
Fair use applies (US NEWS & WORLD REPORT) - "Police forced New Mexico scrap metal tradesman David Eckert to undergo two digital anal probes, three enema insertions and ultimately a colonoscopy after officers incorrectly assumed he was concealing drugs, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on his behalf.
No drugs were found by police or doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, N.M. The exhaustive search began when Eckert allegedly rolled through a stop sign in Deming, N.M., on Jan. 2, 2013.
Albuquerque civil rights attorney Shannon Kennedy is representing Eckert and says she is seeking "in excess of $1 million in punitive damages alone" from the law enforcement and medical personnel responsible and their employers.
"We see this as a multimillion-dollar case," Kennedy said. "This is essentially medical anal rape, numerous times over a 12-hour period. I can't imagine anything more horrifying than what happened to our client. It's just sadistic."
The apparent justification for the search, Kennedy said, was that police believed Eckert's buttocks were clenched during the traffic stop." (Emphasis added)

I would be suing
EVERYBODY INVOLVED!! I'd sue the officer that requested the warrant, the clerk that issued the warrant, the "judge" that signed the warrant, and the doctors and hospitals involved... I would own the city of Deming! It was gratifying to see that ONE doctor in Deming had the character to say, "No, I will not do this. It is unethical." This doctor should get a
reduction in the cost of his malpractice premium, because of his demonstrated honesty and professionalism! Their signs at the state lines should read:
"Welcome to New Mexico - BOHICA!"
If the Deming PD has a culture that even
tacitly suggests that such behavior from their officers is acceptable, the
Mayor, the
City Attorney and the
Police Chief Brandon Gigante should all be fired and replaced with Constitution-believing Americans. There was no
RAS (emphasis on the "
R"-part) - clenched buttocks could be the result of a need to use the toilet... especially when you
sensed that a couple of rogue (the article suggests there
may also have been a
racial component to this harassment) cops were in the process of railroading you! Actions of this kind by LEA's are what will "fundamentally transform" America... into
AMERIKA!
