A New Mexico man is alleging abuse after authorities conducted three enemas, a colonoscopy, an X-ray and several cavity searches on him simply because he appeared to clench his buttocks.
David Eckert's attorney recently filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf over the Jan. 3 incident, in which police and doctors co-opted an "unethical," 14-hour series of cavity searches, KOB-4 reports.
Court documents state that Eckert was driving out of Wal-Mart in Deming when he failed to fully stop at a parking lot stop sign. He was immediately pulled over.

When he stepped out of his vehicle, an officer reported that he appeared to be clenching his buttocks. That fact was cited as probable cause to suspect that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. Officers obtained a search warrant and Eckert's humiliating examination began at a nearby medical center.

1. • Eckert’s abdominal area was X-rayed; no narcotics were found.
   • Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert’s anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
   • Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert’s anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Doctors then X-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found.
   • 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.

Eckert's attorney told the Herald-Sun that the case needed to go public because it could set a scary precedent.

"If the officers in Hidalgo County and the City of Deming are seeking warrants for anal cavity searches based on how they’re standing and the warrant allows doctors at the 'Gila Hospital of Horrors' to go in and do enemas and colonoscopies without consent, then anyone can be seized," Shannon Kennedy said.

Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante argued that his officers "follow the law in every aspect." Kennedy said that the officers' warrant allowing them to search Eckert expired hours before his ordeal was over, and the warrant wasn't even valid in the county where the procedures were performed.

Eckert is suing the City of Deming, Deming police officers Bobby Orosco, Robert Chavez, Officer Hernandez, and Hidalgo County deputies David Arredondo, Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Green. He's also suing Deputy District Attorney Daniel Dougherty and the Gila Regional Medical Center.



Wait a minute you mean to tell me this ALL started because did not fully stop at a parking lot stop sign. Only in America, I hope he gets every penny for this ordeal. One good thing it didn't happen here in Florida.

Peace

He did get a colonoscopy out of it but the hospital sent him a $6,000 bill for it. And there's racial allegations on top of it all.

Man Seeks Millions After N.M. Police Force Colonoscopy in Drug Search

Civil rights attorney says Hispanic officers may have targeted 'white boy' because they 'don't like him living in their community'



http://www.usnews.com/topics/author/steven_nelson"


Police forced New Mexico scrap metal tradesman David Eckert to undergo two digital anal probes, three enema insertions and ultimately a colonoscopy after officers incorrectly assumed he was concealing drugs, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on his behalf.

No drugs were found by police or doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, N.M. The exhaustive search began when Eckert allegedly rolled through a stop sign in Deming, N.M., on Jan. 2, 2013.
Albuquerque civil rights attorney Shannon Kennedy is representing Eckert and says she is seeking "in excess of $1 million in punitive damages alone" from the law enforcement and medical personnel responsible and their employers.

"We see this as a multimillion-dollar case," Kennedy said. "This is essentially medical anal rape, numerous times over a 12-hour period. I can't imagine anything more horrifying than what happened to our client. It's just sadistic."
The apparent justification for the search, Kennedy said, was that police believed Eckert's buttocks were clenched during the traffic stop.
But, she said, it's also possible the officers just didn't like how her client looks.
"Maybe the officers who did this don't like him living in their community," said Kennedy. "He's a white boy, a scraggly white boy, and all these officers are Hispanic. It's a New Mexico thing."

Kennedy said her client, 63-years-old when he was detained, looks somewhat like rocker Tom Petty and says he denies standing with his buttocks clenched.


In the search warrant affidavit that sought permission for an anal cavity probe, one police officer said he asked Eckert for permission to physically search him after the minor traffic stop. When Eckert refused, the document says, a police K-9 dog alerted them to the side of his car. Kennedy alleges the dog is not certified to search for drugs and may actually be a pet.

A judge granted the search warrant for the anal cavity probe, but not necessarily a colonoscopy.

Officers then transported Eckert to the Gila Regional Medical Center after an emergency room doctor at a Deming, N.M., hospital told them "this is unethical," Kennedy said. The doctor who refused to comply with police is willing to testify if the lawsuit goes to trial, according to Kennedy.

After arriving at the Gila facility, doctors examined Eckert's anal cavity twice with their fingers, put him through an x-ray scan and then inserted three rounds of enemas into his anus. After each enema, doctors examined the stool sample produced. Eckert was then given a second x-ray scan and forced to undergo a colonoscopy with anesthesia.

It's unclear why the colonoscopy was necessary after enemas and x-rays did not reveal hidden drugs. Eckert was sent a $6,000 bill for the medical procedures he involuntarily underwent, his lawyer says.

He was probably just scared of the pigs and trying not to shit himself.

unsung

They aren't pigs; they are people that risk their lives protecting and serving all the while being underpaid to do a job most of us are physically unable to.

Or so I'm told by many here.

Moral of story: NEVER QUESTION THE POLICE.

Pigs.

PIGS?

That's pretty disrespectful, no? - not just the term itself, but applying it to all officers.

This strikes me as similar to painting all Muslims, Christians, choose any political party, on and on, with the same stupid brush.

It's unacceptable what this man endured, but there's no way I could ever label an entire group based on the actions of a few dipshits.

So Unsung, what do you get out of your hatred for all cops? Are they like your catch all scape goat for hate? Did you have a bad experience with cops such that you really think every one of them is rotten and foul to the core?

The other thing I wonder is why does the wonderful animal called pig get attached to something some people hate? Pigs are very cool animals. I befriended a mean assed boar named Wendell one time. Wendell was as mean-spirited an animal as I had ever seen. I started with reaching over the fence with a stick and scratching his back. Eventually it was hand over fence scratching back. One day I hopped the fence and walked right up to Wendell and patted his big fat back good and hard with several times with the palm of my palm and we we friends for life.

Maybe just go talk to a good street cop sometime, Unsung. You might lose some of that hatred. Or maybe you just want to cling to it.

Well said.

I have always assumed the term pig as it relates to cops came from the stereotype of the fat, doughnut eating cop. Whether that is true or not I do not know.

I think "pigs" is just a common-use slang word for "police"

it seems that aerial is using this story to further his political whatevers
it seems that unsung is using this story to practice his sarcasm
it seems that byrnzie is using this story to practice his humor
it seems that hedonist is using this thread to lash out at byrnzie
is seems that brianlux is using this thread to lash out at unsung
(and to squeeze in the befriended wild boar story )

I'm open to counter viewpoints. But am I wrong?

edit: I'd also like to add, it seems that rollings is using this thread to make a bunch of friends today.

Context counts for much to me.

The term doesn't strike you as derrogatory? Would you call an officer a pig to his or her face?

Lashing out?

Yup, quite wrong.

I have no beef with Byrnzie himself, but one with the "pigs" comment.

(also, I'm not using this story for anything; not sure anyone is, actually. We're discussing it...I thought!)

in this context, the term pigs seems to be aptly used.

there is no projection of the term to every police officer in the world, nor is the speaker saying it to the police officer's face.

also, the context speaks to the particular police officers who in the story, behaved in such a way that a derogatory term applied to them is certainly conceivable.

also, the context speaks to the particulars of the story, i.e. the clenched buttocks, so the "trying not to shit himself" part is implying humor, to which the term "pigs" is more in line with this humorous context than would the plain term "police officer".

hedonist

So then it wasn't just common-use slang (which I still don't get, but OK).

Anyway, I think I've said my piece.

badbrains

Shit (no pun intended) but only $1 million? I'd fucken take them to the bank for that shit (again, no pun intended). How many x-rays and anemias is enough before you say this guys not hiding any drugs. Fuck, unreal.

Sorry if it came across as lashing out. Just challenging unsung on his black and white thinking.

(Get it? "Black and white" like a cop car? Yuk, yuk! )

i'm gonna use it to further my "anti-corporation" agenda ...

the hospital is the biggest sham here ... they acted like some salesperson who got a rich client walking in ... they basically, did all that stuff because they saw $$$ ... like so many hospitals now ... always pushing the solution that is most profitable ... ya, the cops are pricks but the hospital is whom i'm more pissed at ...

It is. And most people in the U.K refer to them as the pigs. Funny how it gets some people here frothing at the mouth.
