America is gone, though futures currents would probably enjoy all these different things being inserted in his anus. What began as a simple traffic stop ended in a humiliating and nightmarish ordeal for a New Mexico man. It wonât come as a surprise to most people why the man has now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit. The incident began on Jan. 2 as David Eckert was leaving the local Walmart in Deming, N.M. He reportedly failed to make a complete stop at a stop sign, prompting police to pull him over. The officers asked him to step out of the vehicle and claim the man appeared to be clenching his buttocks, Eckertâs attorney, Shannon Kennedy, told TheBlaze. It is unclear why police removed him from the vehicle in the first place. However, because the cops believed he was clenching his buttocks, they took it as reason to suspect him of hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. âWhat is so strange about this case is they held him with no evidence,â Kennedy said. âThey seized him to collect evidence, to go on a fishing expedition on someoneâs body.â Upon securing the warrant, Deming police officers took the man to an emergency room, but hit their first snag when a doctor refused to perform the anal cavity search because he believed it to be âunethical.â So police tried again at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, N.M., where doctors agreed to the search. KOB-TV outlined the disturbing series of events that occurred next, details confirmed by medical records and official documents provided to TheBlaze by Eckertâs attorney: 1. Eckertâs abdominal area was X-rayed; no narcotics were found. 2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckertâs anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found. 3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckertâs anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found. 4. Doctors penetrated Eckertâs 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 Eckertâs 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 Eckertâs 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 Eckertâs anus, rectum, colon and large intestines. No narcotics were found. Kennedy told TheBlaze these are undisputed facts from medical records, not claims made by her client. As he was being detained and probed, Kennedy said Eckert never gave doctors his consent to perform the procedures and protested his treatment, which all arose from the simple traffic violation. The entire ordeal lasted for roughly 12 hours. TheBlaze has reached out to the Deming Police Department. This story will be updated should the department respond. âItâs a nightmare, its unfathomable. You could never anticipate this happening in the United States of America,â Kennedy said, adding that in 18 years of practicing civil rights law, âthis may be the most egregious case I have ever seen with law enforcement abuse.â
Someone should start a thread titled "Cops Gone Wild" I hope this poor bastard wins his suit and puts that entire municipality into bankruptcy.
If this is accurate, the cops should all be fired and the doctors lose their licenses. Actually they all should go to jail.
I thought this story was BS, buts it is true. Holy cow! http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s3209305.shtml#.UnpEBflOMs-
