And if you do, don’t appear to be clenching your buttocks, or you could be in for some pretty brutal treatment.
ZitatEckert’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.
The police didn’t conduct the anal cavity search, it was done at a hospital. It was the second hospital they tried because the doctor at the first one said what they wanted to do was unethical.
Zitat While there, 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. (Read More)
This didn’t happen in Mexico, it happened in New Mexico, in the United States of America where we have this thing called a Constitution. Someone should clue the officers in, and the judge who signed the warrant, on the 4th amendment. I’m pretty sure this constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure, especially since all the guy did to get pulled over was fail to come to a complete stop at a stop sign on his way home from WalMart.
I'm a little confused. HOW can a cop,or anybody else tell if someone is clenching their buttocks when they are sitting in a car seat?
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
