[madoka]

Let this serve as a warning next time you are pulled over. D:

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.

[blackangst1]

OMFG

 

[dennilfloss]

I bet he was really bummed out after all this.

 

[LevelSea]

holy shit!

 

[Away]

Lawsuit time.

 

[madoka]

I'm very impressed he was able to defecate on command with a crowd of doctors and police officers watching him. Now if he was able to do that three times in a row!?!?! Well, that's just superhuman.

I want to know what happened between the time they pulled him over, and the moment he got out of the car.

Everything after the x-ray was harassment, and should result in the firing of the police officer(s) involved.

 

[blackangst1]

This is gonna a RICH dude when all this is over.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

That would have been so awkward...lol.

From "California stop" to sedatation and putting it up your butt.

 

[Raizinman]

I need a colonoscopy, what a kool way to get it done for free!!!

Interesting. If the doctor saw a polyp in there during the search, would she be obligated to excise it to sample? "Do no harm" isn't exactly "go out of your way to investigate fully while assisting the police on a drug search"

Holy shit (no pun intended). Link also shows this little gem:

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.

 

[cronos]

..and all this guy did was holding back a fart (edit: or a potential shart)

 

[rudeguy]

no way this is real

is it?

But it didn't happen in America

did it?


WTF is wrong with us?

 

[SlowSpyder]

The war on drugs.

 

[z1ggy]

The war against drugs is real shit show, huh?

 

[Jodell88]

He's gonna be rich!

 

[JTsyo]

Damn druggies hiding drugs, ruining it for the rest of us. Or maybe it was just the cops, not sure. I can't believe this is usual procedure for suspecting someone is hiding narcotics.

Medically induced (enema).

 

[ch33zw1z]

If he didn't have narcotics before, he'll certainly be able to afford narcotics after he's done suing the PD...

 

[rudeguy]

If he didn't have narcotics before, he'll certainly be able to afford narcotics after he's done suing the PD...

and the hospital

and the doctor

and the nurse

and anyone at the hospital that touched him without his consent

Ever had an enema? You'll have no problem shitting on command after they squirt half a liter of water up there...

 

[TwiceOver]

Hope the city has budget for the payments it's going to be making on this one... If the story holds up pretty much everyone he is suing is going to lose. The Hospital is going to take it up the ass too.

He's going to be a rich man, and rightly so.

Though he'll probably lose it all pretty quick.
