4 On Your Side investigates traffic stop nightmare | KOB.com
~
This 4 On Your Side investigation looks into the actions of police officers and doctors in Southern New Mexico.
=
A review of medical records, police reports and a federal lawsuit show deputies with the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office, police officers with the City of Deming and medical professionals at the Gila Regional Medical Center made some questionable decisions.
=
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.

I've always heard that holding back a bowel movement was not healthy, but this is just ridiculous. I always thought they were referring to medically not constitutionally. I bet this guy has gotten over his propensity against public restrooms.
~
Now the question arises about who is going to pay for all the medical procedures the guy didn't agree to have preformed even though he gets the benefit from knowing the results. If they found something wrong they will say if they hadn't done this he would have been at risk and they saved his life, RIIIIGHT.

Eckert’s history with drugs had been revealed by his attorneys, Joseph and Shannon Kennedy, but there was no mention of any previous attempts to transport drugs in his anal cavity. Still, though court records confirm Eckert’s history of drug-related offenses, we found no information confirming police’s claim that he once was caught with drugs in his anal cavity.
