Man gets literally raped by the system - stay out of southern New Mexico

[satchelmcqueen]

i agree, just like the gun owners in new york got treated by the news paper.

The names, addresses, home phone numbers, etc. of all the medical personnel involved should be posted somewhere online by Anonymous or some similar group, including those involved in trying to bill him for the "procedures." Nothing will happen, but it might get them to thinking that maybe it's not such a good idea to go along with what the police want in these cases ...

This story just enforces a mental line in the sand I decided on back when those women were fingered on the side of the road in Texas. Rapists deserve to die.

That is my position, and I operate on that principle.

And a seed is planted in the minds of millions of LEOs nationwide.

I wonder what cops on that police forum are saying about the article...?

I'm sure there's more than a few who are aroused by the concept.

WTF? Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City is even billing the victim for the anal rape they gave him against his will. If he burned their place to the ground I would acquit him of all charges.

That is so American. Get F-ed by the system literally. Than get F-d by the system twice. Wonder if Obamacare covers anal cavity searches?

Here is a second case of a another guy getting anally probed at Gila Regional Medical Center , after being stopped for not having his turn signal on. I wonder how much they billed him for ?

This story is getting some traction. They were discussing it on local Phoenix radio talk shows yesterday. Even the conservative pro-cop talk show host said they should all go to jail including the judge.

This Dog Can Authorize Anal Probes
http://reason.com/blog/2013/11/06/this-dog-can-authorize-anal-probes

Yesterday Brian Doherty noted a federal lawsuit by a New Mexico man, David Eckert, who was forcibly subjected to anal probings, stomach X-rays, enemas, and a colonoscopy because police officers who pulled him over for a rolling stop suspected he had drugs hidden inside of him. No drugs were found. Now KOB, the Albuquerque TV station that reported Eckert's story, has discovered another motorist who was forced to undergo a similarly rigorous search of his digestive tract after being stopped for a minor traffic violation. According to police reports, Timothy Young was pulled over for failing to signal a turn and ended up exposed to the prying hands and eyes of cops and doctors acting on their behalf. No drugs were found. In both cases, KOB reports, the same police dog, Leo, triggered these intimate examinations by alerting to a car seat. It turns out that Leo is not so good at identifying vehicles (or people) containing drugs:

[Leo] seems to get it wrong pretty often. He might be getting it wrong because he's not even certified in New Mexico.

If you take a look at the dog's certification, the dog did get trained. But his certification to be a drug dog expired in April 2011. K-9s need yearly re-certification courses, and Leo is falling behind.

"We have done public requests to find anything that would show this dog has been trained, we have evidence that this dog has had false alerts in the past," Eckert's attorney Shannon Kennedy said.

According to the Supreme Court, none of this necessarily disqualifies Leo as an informant reliable enough to obtain a warrant authorizing the sort of humiliating searches that Eckert and Young underwent. Last February the justices unanimously ruled that "a court can presume" an alert by a drug-sniffing dog provides probable cause for a search "if a bona fide organization has certified a dog after testing his reliability in a controlled setting" or "if the dog has recently and successfully completed a training program that evaluated his proficiency in locating drugs." In practice, this means that if police say a dog is properly trained, they can get a search warrant based on nothing more than the animal's purported alert, and that search will be upheld unless a defendant can present evidence showing the dog is unreliable. Police need not produce (or even keep) data on the dog's actual performance in the field, evidence the Court deemed inferior to the results of tests in a "controlled" (i.e., rigged) setting.

Hence if it turns out that Leo's alerts frequently lead to fruitless searches, that does not necessarily mean he will be deemed unreliable, even if he is wrong more often than he is right (which is often the case with drug-detecting dogs). According to police (and the Supreme Court, which essentially has adopted their point of view), what look like mistakes may actually be alerts to traces of drugs so minute that their existence cannot be confirmed. Hence you can never definitively say that a police dog erred, even though there are many possible sources of error, including distracting smells and conscious or subconscious cues by handlers. Not to mention the ever-present possibility that cops who want to search someone can falsely claim a dog alerted. The upshot is that if a cop wants to explore a motorist's anus, stomach, intestines, and fecal matter, all he needs is a dog and a judge who takes to heart the Supreme Court's unjustified faith in canine capabilities.

Are the officers alright??? I'm sure this ordeal must have had a traumatic effect on them!!

 

[jtstellar]

but i thought pets were half-humans.. maybe they just need to be 75% to do the job right. oh right the issue here are the fully human police decision makers.. versus the innocent souless poor animals who are forced to the job.. who sometimes have animal rights and treated as half humans when convenient and when posters are in the mood. ..?

And charge the hospital for the oil he used to burn it down.

TV News Station Channel 4 KOB CHANGES THEIR STORY!

Writeup: http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s3209305.shtml#.UnkkdlPZgmR

Now the "Updated Reporting" news on the victim and what transpired... After reading this lies and garbage from the PD department. Now they are blaming it on the K-9 dog not having certification! I have one question, When doesn't a dog sniff "ASS"?

4 On Your Side reveals another traffic stop nightmare

It's a story that has left the entire country wondering about the state of law enforcement in New Mexico.
4 On Your Side revealed how David Eckert rolled through a stop sign in Deming.


A K-9 named Leo alerted that it sniffed drugs on Eckert's driver's seat.


And, for the next 14 hours, those police officers, and doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center performed eight medical procedures including x-rays, rectal finger exams, enemas, and finally a colonoscopy.
According to a federal lawsuit, officers Bobby Orosco and Robert Chavez were two of the officers involved, and they never found drugs inside Eckert.
Our investigation reveals another chapter. Another man, another minor traffic violation, another incident with Leo the K-9 and another example of the violation of a man's body.
Police reports state deputies stopped Timothy Young because he turned without putting his blinker on.
Again, Leo the K-9 alerts on Young's seat.
Young is taken to the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, and just like Eckert, he's subjected to medical procedures including x-rays of his stomach and an anal exam.
Again, police found nothing, and again the procedures were done without consent, and in a county not covered by the search warrant.
We've learned more about that drug dog, Leo, that seems to get it wrong pretty often. He might be getting it wrong because he's not even certified in New Mexico.
If you take a look at the dog's certification, the dog did get trained. But his certification to be a drug dog expired in April 2011. K-9s need yearly re-certification courses, and Leo is falling behind.
"We have done public requests to find anything that would show this dog has been trained, we have evidence that this dog has had false alerts in the past," Eckert's attorney Shannon Kennedy said.
The doctors from the Gila Regional Medical Center have been turned over to the state licensing board. It's possible they could lose the ability to practice to medicine.

And the police officers will be answering to a law enforcement board <===
