Lawsuit: Cops forced man to undergo enemas, colonoscopy on invalid warrant

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

A New Mexico man is pulled over on a traffic violation, taken in on alleged drug possession
Police got a warrant for an "anal cavity" search; lawsuit claims it was too general and broad
He had "digital penetrations, ... 3 enemas" and a colonoscopy; no drugs were found, no charges

(CNN) -- A New Mexico man is suing police for allegedly "subjecting him to multiple digital penetrations and three enemas," among other "shockingly invasive medical procedures" -- all on an invalid warrant, all without finding any drugs -- his lawyers claim.

The lawsuit states that David Eckert, 54, spent more than 12 hours in custody last January at a police station and local hospital after being pulled over for a traffic violation. Yet he was never charged, nor did authorities find illicit substances on him.

"Defendants acted completely outside the bounds of human decency by orchestrating wholly superfluous physical body cavity searches performed by an unethical medical professional," states the lawsuit, which was filed earlier this year but has garnered more public attention in recent days.

Police in Deming, New Mexico, did not return multiple messages left by CNN on Wednesday seeking their side of the story. The city attorney's office also did not offer an immediate comment after being contacted Wednesday.
Outrage over highway body cavity search

According to a police affidavit accompanying the lawsuit, a detective asked a different officer to pull over Eckert's 1998 brown Dodge pickup truck for not properly stopping at a stop sign.

After Eckert was pulled over, a Deming police officer said that he saw Eckert "was avoiding eye contact with me," his "left hand began to shake," and he stood "erect (with) his legs together," the affidavit stated.

Eckert was told he could go home after a third officer issued him a traffic citation. But before he did, Eckert voluntarily consented to a search of him and his vehicle, the affidavit states. A K-9 dog subsequently hit on a spot in the Dodge's driver's seat, though no drugs were found.

"Hildalgo County K-9 officer did inform me that he had dealt with Mr. Eckert on a previous case and stated that Mr. Eckert was known to insert drugs into his anal cavity and had been caught in Hidalgo County with drugs in his anal cavity," the affidavit said.

While CNN could not immediately corroborate that claim, a search of Eckert's criminal history found he's been arrested several times on drug possession charges, though many of those charges were dismissed.

Eckert was then put in "investigative detention" and transported around 2 p.m. to the Deming Police Department.

Sometime after that,

a judge

signed off a search warrant "to include but not limited to his anal cavity."

The next stop was Gila Regional Medical Center, where the lawsuit states "no drugs were found" in "an x-ray and two digital searches of his rectum by two different doctors." One doctor at this time found nothing unusual in his stool.

Three enemas were conducted on Eckert after 10:20 p.m. A chest X-ray followed, succeeded by a colonoscopy around 1:25 a.m.

After all this, "no drugs were found in or on Plaintiff's person," according to the lawsuit.

Because he "merely looked nervous during a traffic stop," the lawsuit claims that authorities ended up violating Eckert's constitutional right against unreasonable searches and seizures on a number of grounds.

One was that "the language in the warrant was overly broad and, therefore, invalid," said the plaintiff, asserting that the chest X-ray and colonoscopy, for instance, weren't related or confined to the "anal cavity."

Moreover, many of the tests took place outside the 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. timeframe for which any such search warrant (unless otherwise authorized) is legally valid under New Mexico law, according to the lawsuit.

"While the war on drugs has resulted in aggressive government tactics," the suit added, "the Supreme Court has never authorized the seizing of an alleged drug user for forced medical procedures to purge their bodies of drugs."

David Eckert "Appears To Clench His Buttocks"; Cops Order Enemas, Colonoscopy, X-Ray For Non-Existent Drugs

Posted: 11/05/2013 9:55 am EST | Updated: 11/05/2013 1:56 pm EST





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.

From KOB-4:

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.

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.

Thanks to the War On Drugs, many police are
hyper-focused on everyone's butt hole now.

This simply fasanating they would this charge, and not think the internet and world would not respond? They are OH SO BROKE... very soon.

Later he received a bill for over $6,000 from Gila Regional Medical for all of the medical procedures they forced him to undergo while under armed guard. The hospital actually sent the mortified man to collections.

Now I see it's ALL about the DOG.

Blame the dog for legalized rape. Not the Officers nor the judge nor the doctors.


The war on drugs is a complete epic failure. How crazy and twisted it's become that an innocent person can be subjected to so much torture and pain all within legal bounds, just because of this silly war on drugs.

What would cops even have to do if there was no war on drugs? How many homes would not be invaded? How many men and women would be saved from being penetrated? How many innocent people and dogs would still be alive? How many people would be out of cages for owning a restricted plant?

 

[MRK]

So people get anally raped multiple times, billed for it after the fact, and the attackers are granted full permission to do so by the court system.

All of this happened because make believe plants that theoretically could have been inside the rectum.

War on us. The criminal regime is fully entrenched.

What are you going to do about it, America?

We'll talk about it tomorrow, it's almost 9, my show's on and then I have to go to bed.

I'm sure they are PM's flying around, "Brilliant idea! Can't believe we didn't think of this before!!!"

 

[Occam's Banana]

One of the officers claimed that Eckert’s posture was “erect and he kept his legs together,” which led him to believe Eckert may have been hiding drugs in his anal cavity.

And if Eckert's posture had been "slouched and legs apart," I have little doubt that the officers would've been "led to believe" that Eckert was about to spring & attack - and that they would've just blown him to hell ...

I'm still trying to get past the fact that the hospital is billing the guy for raping him.

That is the rotten cherry sitting on top of this pile of shit. "Adding insult to injury" doesn't even remotely begin to cover it ...

I might otherwise have thought it couldn't possibly get any worse than the basic fact of the brutish, grunting evil of the physical assaults themselves - but the Kafka-esque coda of actually billing the man for having been brutalized like this manages to expand the horror by orders of magnitude.

This Gila Regional Medical Center sounds like some little house of horrors. Here's the story of a female doctor there who was sexually assaulting male patients while they were under anesthesia. She still works there -- nothing happened to her, and nothing will happen to the anal raping doctors there either. Sounds like it's all just part of the "culture" there.

Is Dr. Mark Donnell lying to protect a sexual predator?

November 22, 2011 By Paul Elam 64 Comments

Dr. Twana Sparks, an ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat) surgeon, had just finished doing a tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy, a surgical procedure to correct a middle ear problem. The patient was a middle-thirties Hispanic man who lay stretched out before her on the operating table, still under anesthesia.

After applying a dressing to the surgical site, Dr. Sparks, who was also the hospital chief of staff, reached inside the patient’s boxer shorts without wearing gloves, fished out his penis and pointed it at the ceiling. She observed fluid filled vesicles on the side of the shaft, indicating a sexually transmitted disease, and shouted “Oh Gross!” She then slapped the head of his penis three times, saying “Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy!” with each strike, as her all female operating team erupted in laughter.

SNIP

After an investigation, the state medical board issued restrictions on Sparks’ practice, including requirements that she not ever be alone with any patients and that she is prohibited from performing genital, rectal or breast exams for any reason. But she was allowed to keep her license and return to work.

More pointedly, the doctor who was alleged to be sexually abusing patients still works for Gila Regional. The anesthetist who reported her is out of a job.

snip

According to other hospital employees, Dr. Sparks’ “exams,” were not of the usual variety, especially for an ENT. She regularly performed genital inspections of male patients while they were under a general anesthetic and without their permission. These were reportedly a common occurrence and the butt of several running jokes.

One joke that frequently made the rounds among the operating room staff was, “Um, doctor, that’s a long way from the throat.” Another staff regular was “Now I realize that ENT stands for Ears, Nuts and Testicles.”

Dr. Sparks also has a long running reputation for drawing pictures and leaving notes on patient’s bodies while they are under anesthesia.

This guy supposedly in the past was arrested with drugs shoved up inside there -- so for his own safety the police had to make sure that wasn't the case this time. Never mind the invalid warrant, surgical procedures without consent, etc -- all this was for his own good.

Nothing to see here folks, move along ...

I don’t want to get all anal about this, but it was pretty crappy for everyone to dump on the cops before hearing their side. It turns out that the officers in question had reason to believe their suspect had done this before: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...-police-departments-anal-probing-controversy/

If we can get serious for a minute, it’s well known in law enforcement that drug mules often hide their contraband in their rectums, just as some will swallow the baggie or condom full of cocaine when police approach. There are numerous cases where these things have ruptured inside one or the other end of the alimentary canal, resulting in the untimely death of the suspect. The cops are responsible for the person in their custody, even if that “custody” merely takes the form of investigative detention. Thus, in all seriousness, they had a duty to, uh, probe the matter more deeply.

At least NM cops aren't sexist

Female alleges similar probing by NM Border Patrol
http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3212603.shtml#.UnzGkeK3uuN

It may be hard to believe that this could happen to yet another New Mexican. KOB's 4 On Your Side team found a woman who claims she was violated by federal agents and doctors.

Laura Schaur Ives, Legal Director for the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, is representing the woman.

Schaur Ives said the woman doesn't wish to be identified because she considers herself to be a victim of sexual assault. Schaur Ives said the woman crossed the border at a Port of Entry from Juarez, Mexico into El Paso.

A dog alerted to the woman, and Schaur Ives said federal agents stripped searched her at the facility, asked her to undress, to spread her genitalia and to cough. Female agents also allegedly pressed their fingers into her vagina looking for drugs.

The woman claims they didn't discover anything during the on-site strip search, so they took her to University Medical Center of El Paso.

"First, medical staff observed her making a bowl movement and no drugs were found at that point," Schaur Ives said. "They then took an X-ray, but it did not reveal any contraband. They then did a cavity search and they probed her vagina and her anus, they described in the medical records as bi-manual--two handed. Finally, they did a cat scan. Again, they found nothing."

The ACLU claims the federal agents never secured a search warrant before probing or touching the woman.

"And her medical records indicate that she refused consent," Shaur Ives said.

Doug Mosier, spokesman for Customs and Border Patrol, issued the following statement:

"CBP cannot verify information relative to these ACLU allegations since we have not seen a copy of the report, nor have we been provided necessary details in order to investigate. CBP stresses honor and integrity in every aspect of our mission, and the overwhelming majority of CBP employees and officers perform their duties with honor and distinction, working tirelessly every day to keep our country safe. We do not tolerate corruption or abuse within our ranks, and we fully cooperate with any criminal or administrative investigations of alleged misconduct by any of our personnel, on or off-duty."

 

[Anti Federalist]

Freedom.

This is a NEW LOW for LEO.

Now when they want to fuck with someone...Just say he clenched his butt. And get a warrant to get him raped repeatedly "to search for drugs"

This is beyond sickening.



So you get pulled over for a traffic stop...Or maybe you get approached on a search and frisk and mouthed off to a cop. Or maybe you just gave a cop a dirty look when walking down the street.

Now he can just make an excuse that you are hiding drugs in your ass. And he will have a STATE APPROVED ASS RAPING performed on you again and again and again.
