I'm never ever traveling to New Mexico

[crockett]

Police perform anal cavity search on a man 8 times because they claim he ran a stop sign.


http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S...7#.UnlsTzK9KK3

This 4 On Your Side investigation looks into the actions of police officers and doctors in Southern New Mexico.

A review of medical records, police reports and a federal lawsuit show deputies with the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office, police officers with the City of Deming and medical professionals at the Gila Regional Medical Center made some questionable decisions.

The incident began January 2, 2013 after David Eckert finished shopping at the Wal-Mart in Deming. According to a federal lawsuit, Eckert didn't make a complete stop at a stop sign coming out of the parking lot and was immediately stopped by law enforcement.

Eckert'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 lawsuit claims that Deming Police tried taking Eckert to an emergency room in Deming, but a doctor there refused to perform the anal cavity search citing it was "unethical."

But physicians at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City agreed to perform the procedure and a few hours later, Eckert was admitted.
What Happened 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.

Throughout this ordeal, Eckert protested and never gave doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center consent to perform any of these medical procedures.
"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 and that's why the public needs to know about this," Kennedy said.

Search Warrant Concerns

There are major concerns about the way the search warrant was carried out. Kennedy argues that the search warrant was overly broad and lacked probable cause. But beyond that, the warrant was only valid in Luna County, where Deming is located. The Gila Regional Medical Center is in Grant County. That means all of the medical procedures were performed illegally and the doctors who performed the procedures did so with no legal basis and no consent from the patient.

In addition, even if the search warrant was executed in the correct New Mexico county, the warrant expired at 10 p.m. Medical records show the prepping for the colonoscopy started at 1 a.m. the following day, three hours after the warrant expired.
"This is like something out of a science fiction film, anal probing by government officials and public employees," Kennedy said.

No Comment

KOB reached out to the attorneys representing the defendants in the lawsuit and all declined to comment on the situation. The attorneys said it's their personal policy not comment on pending litigation.

4 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Ramirez cornered Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante.
"As the police chief what reassurances could you give people when they come through your town that they won't be violated or abused by your police officers?" Ramirez asked Chief Gigante.

"We follow the law in every aspect and we follow policies and protocols that we have in place," Chief Gigante replied.
"Do you think those officers in this particular case did that?" Ramirez asked.
Gigante didn't answer, instead he referred Ramirez to his attorney.

The Lawsuit

David Eckert is suing The City of Deming and Deming Police Officers Bobby Orosco, Robert Chavez and Officer Hernandez.
Eckert is also suing Hidalgo County Hidalgo County Deputies David Arredondo, Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Green.
Eckert is also suing Deputy District Attorney Daniel Dougherty and the Gila Regional Medical Center including Robert Wilcox, M.D and Okay Odocha, M.D.

If there is anything that would make me go postal it would be this. Both the doctors and the cops involved would be checking behind them the rest of their lives.

[ROCHARD]

But at a certain point in time, we need this. Such attacks can happen anywhere at any time. Subways are a target, always have been, train stations, any kind of social event.

I was thinking about this the other day at a high school football game - A thousand people and no one even thought about checking anal cavities. (We won, 47-2.) Yesterday there was a shooting at a mall in NJ; We talk about anal cavity searches in schools to protect children but never anal cavity searches at entrances to malls?

I have no problems with anal cavity searches at all. You want to check my ID, check my bags, check my ass? No problem. Worst thing I put up there these days is a Redbull.

[dyna mo]

how much ya figure that guy will rake in? he's suing everyone, police, doctors, hospital, all of em. i fully agree, this story is completely in-fucking-sane.

[SuckOnThis]

The problem is these fucking judges that hand out warrants like candy.

[Nikki_Licks]

Sure would be nice to see these "PIGS" have baseball bats rammed up their asses and see how they like it....worthless cocksuckers!

And fuck the police in Deming!

[slapass]

Obviously, the cops were convincing. The Dr's wouldn't have done this all if the cops weren't screaming they have to be in there. Crazy shit.

You beat me to it.

I was going to say...

I have no problems with anal probes, forced enemas, or defecating in front of law enforcement for 12 hours, because I've done nothing wrong.

Then I was going to end it with...

Pigshit. Doesn't happen now or ever will happen in 'Merica, now does it, sport?

And then have everyone guess who would say it.

Bat shit crazy. To the point it doesn't even make sense. But that is where things are heading... not making sense anymore.

As a side note, I'd pay for such detailed service.

This all would have been so much easier if he would have bent over and performed a goatse right on the spot. I mean if he didn't have anything to hide, why not?

What's scary is that this will probably start happening more and more.

I like a free enema as much as the next guy.

All kidding aside, what happened here is fucking nasty. It's a far leap from searching a back pack to an anal cavity search.

I just don't want anything to think I'm okay with what happened here. And I didn't take it as a joke.

i don't think you get my point

they gave him the 8 enemas, and then sent him the medical bill

[BlackCrayon]

the city should round up these bastards and burn them alive.

Would be nice to see the pig officers strung up to a tree and given enemas with boiling oil.

i wonder how that part will go.........there's some vagueness in the article re: whether the er was in the jurisdiction of the judge approving the search.

One thing that stood out to me is that the hospital within their jurisdiction said they would not do the procedure because it was unethical. So basically the Sheriff's Department went hospital shopping in other districts until they found a doctor that was shady or broke enough to perform the unethical procedure.

[dyna mo]

also, i'm not sure but shouldn't an anal cavity search that involves probes, enemas and colonoscopies need more protocols for approval than just a typical search warrant? i mean this isn't like looking in the trunk of a car.

i'm open here but that's a search that i think needs to be very very clear protocols, checks and balances. the entire ordeal is fucking insane.

Permission to search anal cavity five times.

Actually it was the local PD that took him to the hospital in their jurisdiction. However they seem to have brought the sheriffs dept. in on it, when the first hospital turned them down and needed to go to another. At that point the local PD didn't have the jurisdiction to get to the other hospital, but the sheriffs could.

[ajrocks]

Wow that's a really terrible story. I lived in New Mexico for several years and never had any issues with the police or even people pretty much. This kind of crazy shit happens everyday in the US these days. Maybe people aren't getting anally tortured but people are being illegally searched and treated like shit at the whim of your police and government.

You're currently in a polite police state which is only going to become less polite and more apparent as time goes on.
