Law Enforcement Conducting WARRANTLESS Body Cavity Searches
Police Officers Turn Into Taxpayer Funded Dominatrixes
Reported:
"When the animated series South Park lampooned the TSA, it did so by suggesting that screeners routinely demand that Americans passing through airports must submit to anal examinations. The exaggerated humor served to highlight a serious point ? that TSA agents everywhere are violating Americans? privacy and constitutional rights by groping their genitals and searching inside their underwear.
A disturbing series of recent cases suggests that this exact thing is now REALLY happening in the US ? except it isn?t confined to airports, it is being carried out by police on the streets, and by doctors in hospitals at the behest of law enforcement officials.
The stories have centered on New Mexico, where not one, not two, but THREE cases of law enforcement officials enforcing humiliating and demeaning anal probes and body cavity searches WITHOUT CONSENT have been reported in recent weeks.
By far the most appalling of these cases was that of David Eckert, who was subjected to FOURTEEN HOURS of medical probes at the hands of doctors following orders from deputies with the Hidalgo County Sheriff?s Office and police officers with the City of Deming.
Eckert?s crime? He did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign.
After pulling Eckert over, officers approached with a drug sniffing dog which alerted. The officers then suggested Eckert was ?clenching his buttocks?, and that they had probable cause to have him examined.
While a doctor at one emergency room refused to go along with the ?unethical? process, physicians at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City agreed to carry out the anal exams, happy that the police had secured a ?search warrant? from a judge.
The medical report released as part of the case indicates that police ordered doctors to carry out no less than EIGHT anal and abdominal searches, consisting of 2 X-rays, 2 anal penetration examinations by hand, 3 enemas, forcing Eckert to defecate in front of doctors and police each time, and finally a full colonoscopy, involving inserting a camera into his anus, rectum, colon, and large intestine.
At no point were any drugs discovered. Eckert never gave consent for any of the procedures to be carried out and was vocally resistant throughout. The police and doctors involved are now facing a hefty lawsuit and possibly being both sacked and banned from law enforcement and the practice medicine respectively.
While Eckert?s attorneys are questioning whether a judge even has the authority to issue such a warrant to search INSIDE a person?s body, what is not under any doubt is the fact that the horrific medical procedures were carried out in a different county to the one in which said warrant had apparent jurisdiction. Some of the procedures were also undertaken in the hours AFTER the warrant had expired.
?This is like something out of a science fiction film, anal probing by government officials and public employees,? said Eckert?s attorney, Shannon Kennedy, w
