Horror: Police force man to undergo invasive anal operation
The Daily Caller ^ | 11-5-2013 | Robby Soave

When New Mexico police stopped a local driver for committing a minor moving violation, they decided to check whether he was carrying drugs in his anus.

So they procured a warrant, drove him to two different hospitals, forced him to endure eight medical procedures — including an invasive colonoscopy — and stuck him with the bill.

No drugs were found.

According to medical records, police reports and a federal lawsuit obtained by KOB-TV, police held Eckert until they were able to procure a warrant from a judge to search the man’s anal cavity. They then drove him to a nearby hospital and instructed doctors to examine his anus.

Doctors at Members Memorial Hospital refused to cooperate, however, telling officers that the search would be unethical.

Deming Police then took Eckert to Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City. This time, Eckert wasn’t so lucky.

Medical officials stuck their fingers inside Eckert’s rectum, but found no drugs. An enema was next. When that didn’t produce the drugs, they gave Eckert two more. He was forced to defecate in front of the medical officials and police, but still, no drugs were found.

Eckert was then prepped for another operation. Doctors knocked him out and gave him a colonoscopy — an invasive medical procedure that involves sticking a tube up the patient’s rectum, anus, colon and intestine.

Before the ordeal was over, Eckert had suffered through eight medical procedures. He objected to each and every one.

Adding insult to injury, the hospital stuck Eckert with the bill, and has threatened to take him to court to pay it.

Adding further insult to injury, the warrant had expired by the time doctors performed the procedures, and the warrant only ever covered procedures in Luna County. Gila Regional is in Grant County.

Eckert has filed suit against the individual police officers who tormented him, the police department and the hospital.

“The thought that they could do this to a man in our country is terrifying,” said Shannon Kennedy, Eckert’s attorney, in a statement to KOB-TV. “This is something out of a science fiction film. Anal probing by government officials and public employees?”

The local news channel reached out to the Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante, who referred questions about the incident to an attorney. However, he did maintain that his officers always follow proper protocol.

“Guess they never heard of an X-Ray.”

They did 2 or 3 X-Rays and saw nothing.

I live not terribly far from this. This is typical.

Things have not changed much in my state since Sheriff Pat Garrett (the actual bad guy) got entangled with Billy the Kid (the actual good guy, or goodish guy).

As posted on another thread, my ranch foreman and me got dragged out of our truck on my ranch by 10 members of some drug enforcement taskforce that was allegedly chasing someone across my ranch (really, they were poaching elk and we caught them).

Anyway, our law enforcement, especially our drug warriors, are completely out of control.

That’s not all they stuck him with

The most wonderful thing about stories like this is when the “civilians” start using meat hooks and piano wire on these JBTs, the cops will be baffled to realize that no one loves them...

I agree with others here.

Without an ex-ray, its rape.

I hope he ends up owning that hospital.

They DID X-Rays. Several of them. And still performed all the invasive procedures.

In places like San Francisco, one needs to buy someone dinner in order to get that sort of treatment.

You are right, sound like date night in the Castro district..........

He'll be a millionaire by the time he walks out of his suit with the city.

But they will always write you a ticket for an obscure traffic violation when you’re trying hard to obey all the rules.

They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good.

....would all this have been OK if they had found drugs?

How else are we supposed to win the 'war on drugs' unless we nuke anuses from orbit?

Obamacare will rid us of ethics-obsessed scum like this.

Also, perhaps the officer hone this guy from before and was enjoying some payback.

Such things happened in Bill Clinton's Arkansas (I'm recalling the cop who held a jar with a prisoner's castrated testicles in it).
