Man, what a crappy situation
Man Claims He Was Anally Probed 8 Times Following Traffic Stop For Drugs « CBS Las Vegas
Setting aside the horrific journalism of calling this guy a "victim" in the second paragraph before all the facts have come out, what a crazy story this is.
And to top it off, the guy was sent a $6,000 bill from the hospital for the procedures.
Man Seeks Millions After N.M. Police Force Colonoscopy in Drug Search - US News and World Report
Well, there were a few times it should have stopped, but an absolute stopper was when the first ER doctor refused saying the whole thing was unethical. I get it, this guy is probably a blight on the community and the officers were trying everything to get him gone. They still majorly screwed the pooch here and the police chief is butt stupid for even trying to cover them under policy. They're all going down now and the crackhead will get his payday. He'll in turn enrich a lot of the local dealers.
I've been to that WalMart. In fact, I was there in Deming visiting my mom last Christmas.
It would be interesting to know what evidence they had besides "clinching" to get a search warrant. If there wasn't any, then I'd say the guy has a pretty good case. If there was other evidence just not being given and they followed procedures for such a thing (not sure what the procedure is so can't say they didn't), then he is pretty much just going to have to get over it. It all comes down to the evidence they had to obtain the search warrant. I would hope it was more than just "clinching" because that is pretty weak and would most certainly cost the town if that was all.
the blight on society is the people that will willingly stick things up peoples asses in the name of social engineering.
I'm not sure if the xray alone really would do the trick when it comes to looking for drugs. Now, was it too invasive, most likely. But it also would be good to know what the procedure normally is or what it is set as in this town or county or even state and how excessively invasive it truly was in comparison to the normal procedure. The "anally probed 8 times" thing is a bit of an exaggeration though. There were four different procedures performed while the claim being made makes it sound as if the same thing was done to the guy 8 times.
I'm curious what our man Eckert's history is with drugs and the police.
I'd bet he wasn't the local hardware store owner with a wife and two kids....
Good grief. No. On one hand you have the rare case of over probing and over enforcement, on the other you have a group of addicted folks who scour the countryside for anything not locked down to destroy, steal and sell for their next fix, rinse and repeat daily.
and the solution is to increase the cost of the things they are addicted to?
right out of FDR's book of destroying food to improve the plight of the poor.
The cost doesn't matter, and neither crack nor meth is all that expensive. They're still gonna steal to pay for it because eventually they can't work because of their addiction. And what the heck does this one fellow being probed have to do with raising the cost of illegal drugs?
The article does not currently include the word victim. It appears that the writer has seen the medical records, if they confirm that he was subjected to multiple tests it is very reasonable to call him a victim. I doubt that US News and World report would report the attorney's allegation as fact unless they had seen the medical documents.
This is what people who support the drug wars are tacitly supporting-the ability of the government to probe people's anal cavities without evidence of a crime.

crack is a derivative of cocaine, and thus is very expensive. meth is the market response to cocaine rising in price.
.1 grams is 10 bux .2 grams for 20 bux .3 grams for 30 bux thus ending up to be 100 bux for a whole gram of crack cocaine on the street...unless you got good drug dealers where you can pay for 1 gram and get one and a half or 2 whole grams for 100 bux....dont do crack,, its bad for you

It's like I always say: A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to probe your anus.
First:
Second, no, street meth started to appear in the 80s when cocaine was at it's cheapest street prices historically. Now near 80% of it comes from Mexico where cocaine prices are much lower than in the US, so that's not the issue. But it's cheaper to manufacture meth and thus the drug of choice for manufacturers who are all about profits.
It seems we have a government large enough to fit in our anuses.
It seems New Mexicans have a state government large enough to fit in their anuses.
