Still_Small_Voice Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) What began as a simple traffic stop ended in a humiliating and nightmarish ordeal for a New Mexico man. It won’t come as a surprise to most people why the man has now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit.The incident began on January 2nd as David Eckert was leaving the local Walmart in Deming, New Mexico. He reportedly failed to make a complete stop at a stop sign, prompting police to pull him over.The officers asked him to step out of the vehicle and claim the man appeared to be clenching his buttocks, Eckert’s attorney, Shannon Kennedy, told TheBlaze. It is unclear why police removed him from the vehicle in the first place. However, because the cops believed he was clenching his buttocks, they took it as reason to suspect him of hiding narcotics in his anal cavity.Police officers detained Eckert after a narcotics sniffing dog allegedly issued a “hit” on Eckert’s car seat. Meanwhile, they sought a search warrant for an anal cavity search.To read more and see documents go to:‘You Could Never Anticipate This Happening in the United States of America’ | Video | TheBlaze.com Edited November 7, 2013 by pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 If any of this is accurate, it is indeed egregious. I hope some heads roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bini Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I read a report on what this man endured. Unbelievable. I don't think 1.6M could restore the dignity that was taken from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Small_Voice Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 When I read this article I thought to myself: "How does something like this happen in America? It is wretched and awful."I hope the police involved and the police chief who defended these officers were fired. This is an absolute abuse of authority.

NightSG Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I hope the police involved and the police chief who defended these officers were fired. This is an absolute abuse of authority.Not likely, and even if they were, they'd just be hired by another department. Google up all the messes Terrell Bolton was involved in, and last time I checked, he was chief in at least his third city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisyn Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 This isn't the only one, either. That particular area has a bad rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yjacket Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It doesn't surprise me.This is what happens in GA if you refuse a breath-analyzer test (which is legal, it just means you have a strong possibility of losing your license).DUI suspects face forced blood draws in some Ga. counties - Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5» Shock Video Shows Police Forcibly Drawing Blood Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
