New Mexico Man Sues Cops over Repeated Anal Probes

I was listening to Glen Beck and he related a true horror story this morning. A man was stopped in New Mexico for a traffic violation. The cop asked why he was clenching his cheeks together. They got a drug stiffing dog who responded to the guy's car seat. They took him into custody and got a warrant from a local judge for a body cavity search. He was taken to a local hospital and the hospital people said it was unethical and they refused to do it.

The cops took him to an urgent care the next county over (where the warrant wasn't valid). They did a rectal search, then gave him 3 enemas, then a colonoscopy all of which revealed no contraband. He was arrested at about 3 pm and because of the scoping wasn't fed anything until after 3 Am. He was released by the cops. The cops broke at least one law by taking him to another county where the warrant didn't apply. Then the urgent care that did the enemas and scoping charged him for the procedures. I think a big law suit is going to happen.

Is this Gestapo or KGB?

Shame this had to happen, but it mentions enemas and anal probes.

Hi Jim,

Guess again, it happened at least "TWICE!!" 'Seen several reports of the first guy's ordeal and just a little while ago I ran across another story telling of a "Second event!" Check out a website called Irons in the fire go to elmtreeforge.blogspot.com read it and weep. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, stay the he2xl out of Deming NM!!

It's not so much the hair splitting over crossing county lines and warrants and things like that ... what's more astounding is that such kind of searches are done at all. It wouldn't be any more disgusting if no county lines had been crossed.

And KGB or Gestapo (and let's not forget CIA) or whatever - the boundaries between fantasy and non-fiction seem to erode in some places and circumstances.

And for the record, I read about this on other media sources before this morning.

I hope he sues the crap out of them. He deserves retribution for what he was subjected to.

By the way, which highway and Walmart was this and were the doctors female?

Here are links to the local news reports, which are quite detailed:

What people seem to gloss over is that the man in question was someone with a known history of transporting drugs in his ass and a drug dog 'hit' on him and his car seat. With that probable cause, a judge issued a search warrant for a cavity search.

I'm not justifying the crazy war on drugs, but there was justification for the search.

May all be so, but sometimes I think law enforcement in the US see themselves as Jack Bauers who have a (24 hour) deadline to face in catching bad guys and therefore think any method is acceptable. It's becoming a situation in which reality is beginning to mirror itself to what was previously fiction.

"reality is beginning to mirror itself to what was previously fiction."

Isn't that the truth! When I first ran across these stories it struck me that if some author of gay BDSM porn had written a scenario like them, it would have seemed too contrived to be true to life. Yet here they are factual reports.

True, the same end result could have been accomplished by holding him till he evacuated into a bucket.

The problem here is that we've forgotten that this country is OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. We don't answer to the government, they answer to us.

Now that you mention the gay bdsm porn angle, there does indeed seem something to it. It's like a sort of med/enema situation encounter with Tom of Finland characters playing rogue cops. It might be funny in a comic, but not in real life. And I also often get the feeling that there is a sort of overcompensation going on with law enforcement, that they so obviously try to be the perfect masculine heroes, but that nonetheless their own (repressed no doubt) gay tendencies do shine through from time to time.

Jds4med;.. note the post above yours and the second link and go thru the pdf of the lawsuit to item 42. "Defendant Oresco and Defendant Arredondo then informed defendant Chavez that the plaintiff was known in Hidalgo county to insert drugs in his anal cavity. This information is false." This from the pdf of the lawsuit. "Known by who??" The info sounds more like made up fluff by the cops. Interestingly according to the news article the defendants are interested in settling "out of court??" Also note that the drug dogs' certification was "expired" for quite some time!!
