"The incident began January 2, 2013 after David Eckert finished shopping at the Wal-Mart in Deming. According to a federal lawsuit, Eckert didn't make a complete stop at a stop sign coming out of the parking lot and was immediately stopped by law enforcement. Eckert's attorney, Shannon Kennedy, said in an interview with KOB that after law enforcement asked him to step out of the vehicle, he appeared to be clenching his buttocks. Law enforcement thought that was probable cause to suspect that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. While officers detained Eckert, they secured a search warrant from a judge that allowed for an anal cavity search. "

"While there [at the medical center], Eckert was subjected to repeated and humiliating forced medical procedures. A review of Eckert's medical records, which he released to KOB, and details in the lawsuit show the following happened: 1. Eckert's abdominal area was x-rayed; no narcotics were found. 2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found. 3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found. 4. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found. 5. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a second time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found. 6. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a third time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found. 7. Doctors then x-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found. 8. Doctors prepared Eckert for surgery, sedated him, and then performed a colonoscopy where a scope with a camera was inserted into Eckert's anus, rectum, colon, and large intestines. No narcotics were found."

What's that I hear? One traffic stop court-legitimized digital-rape not enough for you? Want another one?

OK, here is another one, also performed outside the warrant's jurisdiction, just like the one above, and also at the same rape center:

"Our investigation reveals another chapter. Another man, another minor traffic violation, another incident with Leo the K-9 and another example of the violation of a man's body. Police reports state deputies stopped Timothy Young because he turned without putting his blinker on. Again, Leo the K-9 alerts on Young's seat. Young is taken to the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, and just like Eckert, he's subjected to medical procedures including x-rays of his stomach and an anal exam. Again, police found nothing, and again the procedures were done without consent, and in a county not covered by the search warrant. We've learned more about that drug dog, Leo, that seems to get it wrong pretty often. He might be getting it wrong because he's not even certified in New Mexico."

Discuss.

I wonder if it's a crime to intentionally provoke an unnecessary anal cavity search, because you're gay and like having men finger your butthole or something

surely this has happened at some point in history

ollllllllllllllllllllld

i swear OEP must live in some weird place where the internet he sees is always 2 days older than the internet the rest of us see.

11/7/2013 12:46:00 AM

has a judge ever refused to grant a warrant for something i wonder

11/7/2013 10:25:20 AM

I know one thing....

...I'll be sure to go to a complete stop from now on.

11/7/2013 10:30:12 AM

Eh, I think that when a man with a gun and a badge gets the idea that he wants to dig in your butthole, he will find a reason to do it. Even if he has to manufacture that reason.

I know someone who's been waiting close to a year for a colonoscopy in canada. Looks like they should plan a trip to NM

11/7/2013 11:16:02 AM

I'm betting OEP has been running stops signs and lights like a mother since yesterday.

Never do 2 illegal things at once on the road

11/7/2013 1:25:30 PM

^^ har har

But seriously, I don't live in a country where they anally rape you with fingers and instruments for hours (ordered by a judge) for rolling through a stop sign, even though it is like in the top 5-10 most repressive countries in the world.

11/7/2013 5:06:07 PM

^ Well, not that you know of.

I'm sure before this hit the news, just about everyone here would say "that would never happen in the U.S."
