Traffic stop nightmare



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.

All involved should be arrested for aggravated assault, rape, abuse of authority, etc, etc on Mr. Eckert.

And Mr. Eckert should sue them, to the point they know what it's like to be raped

Clearly none:

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 kind of abuse of power all for narcotics is absolutely insane. Another reason that the drug war needs to end, BADLY.
