What other side? Are you referring to the cop's story about why he did what he did? I can understand why he stopped the guy from entering the building but at the same time it's not his call. That was decided in a Supreme Court case a while ago.

Yeah, I'm wondering if there's some legalistic explanation about having to prevent people from endangering themselves or whatever that makes this seem less horrifically absurd.

David Eckert Appears To Clench His Buttocks; Cops Order Enemas, Colonoscopy, X-Ray For Non-Existent Drugs
Nov 05, 2013

A New Mexico man is alleging abuse after authorities conducted three enemas, a colonoscopy, an X-ray and several cavity searches on him simply because he appeared to clench his buttocks.

David Eckert's attorney recently filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf over the Jan. 3 incident, in which police and doctors co-opted an "unethical," 14-hour series of cavity searches, KOB-4 reports.

Court documents state that Eckert was driving out of Wal-Mart in Deming when he failed to fully stop at a parking lot stop sign. He was immediately pulled over.

When he stepped out of his vehicle, an officer reported that he appeared to be clenching his buttocks. That fact was cited as probable cause to suspect that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. Officers obtained a search warrant and Eckert's humiliating examination began at a nearby medical center.

From KOB-4:



  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.


Eckert's attorney told the Herald-Sun that the case needed to go public because it could set a scary precedent.

"If the officers in Hidalgo County and the City of Deming are seeking warrants for anal cavity searches based on how they’re standing and the warrant allows doctors at the 'Gila Hospital of Horrors' to go in and do enemas and colonoscopies without consent, then anyone can be seized," Shannon Kennedy said.

Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante argued that his officers "follow the law in every aspect." Kennedy said that the officers' warrant allowing them to search Eckert expired hours before his ordeal was over, and the warrant wasn't even valid in the county where the procedures were performed.

Eckert is suing the City of Deming, Deming police officers Bobby Orosco, Robert Chavez, Officer Hernandez, and Hidalgo County deputies David Arredondo, Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Green. He's also suing Deputy District Attorney Daniel Dougherty and the Gila Regional Medical Center.

Sadistic Cops Forced Man to Rap for His Freedom: Lawsuit

Late last month, the NYPD was embarrassed when cops allegedly threw a man in jail for a day after mistaking his Jolly Ranchers for meth. But not every innocent interaction with the NYPD has to end in a cell. According to a new lawsuit, sometimes New York City cops are willing to let people who have committed no crimes go in exchange for an impromptu rap performance.

In a federal lawsuit detailed in the New York Post, 28-year-old Brooklyn man Quinshon Shingles claims that police demanded to enter his friend's apartment in 2011. When his friend asked to see a warrant, police backed off and said they'd return with the proper paperwork. Shingles says, however, that the officers came back later that day after convincing the building's super to give them keys to the apartment. By that time the apartment's primary resident had stepped out, but Shingles and two other friends remained. The lawsuit states that police handcuffed the men and began searching the home.

The police didn't find anything illegal, but the lawsuit alleges that didn't stop them from asserting Shingles had to work for his freedom. After finding out that Shingles is an aspiring rapper, police told him that they'd let him go if he rapped for them. And so Shingles rapped:

"The defendant officers then told the plaintiff Quinshon Shingles to show them some 'spits and bars,'" specifically to perform a rap song, and that if he was "'hot' they would let him go," the suit states.

With his freedom on the line, Shingles burst into his verses—and passed the test.

"Apparently satisfied with the plaintiff Quinshon Shingles rap performance, the defendant officers indeed released him and allowed him to leave the subject premises," the suit states.

Shingles and the friend whose apartment he was at are now suing the NYPD for illegal search and false imprisonment. The New York Post reports that at least one of the officers involved in the incident is under investigation for other illegal entries.

This is sort of cop related. The TSA is crying that they want guns since the LAX incident. Security experts don't think it's a good idea. Neither do I since most of these assholes are egotistical self righteous idiots who couldn't hold a fucking job at McDonalds. If the fuckers want more guns then let lawful CCW holders carry in airports and on planes. That solution is free and I'm guessing it would be extremely effective and without any "incidents" to speak of. Win win win all around.

The last group of people that I would like to see carrying weapons would be TSA agents. When I was in LaGuardia last year, I wondered how some of those people passed the interview process and got the jobs working as security agents.

i'd also add in the increasing "us vs them" and "anything to get home tonight" mentality that has been growing within police forces as a result of militarization. there is this increasingly institutionalized mindset that citizens are out to attack officers; hence the corresponding increase in "shoot now ask questions later" scenarios.

Its the opposite. Officers are out there to attack citizens and can basically do so with impunity. When I started this thread I wanted to highlight a problem, but fuck, even I'm blown away by how bad this shit is getting.
 
Here's a good one for you OP:

Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead
A father's attempt to teach his son a lesson for taking his truck without permission ended in tragedy Monday after a local police officer shot the teenager dead.

James Comstock told the Des Moines Register he called the police on his son Tyler after the latter took the former's truck in retaliation for refusing to buy him cigarettes.

Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson reportedly spotted the lawn care company vehicle and pursued it onto the Iowa State University campus, where a brief standoff ensued after Tyler allegedly refused orders to turn off the engine.

McPherson eventually fired six shots into the truck, two of which struck Tyler who was later pronounced dead.

The official report claims the action was necessary in order "to stop the ongoing threat to the public and the officers."

Tyler's dad says he was unarmed at the time.

"So he didn't shut the damn truck off, so let's fire six rounds at him?" exclaimed Gary Shepley, Tyler's step-grandfather. "We're confused, and we don't understand."

James said his son had his fair share of minor troubles with the law, and was distraught over a recent breakup with his girlfriend, but was in the process of turning his life around, and was working on obtaining his GED at Des Moines Area Community College.

"He was a smart kid. He made his own computers. He was interested in IT," James told the Register.

The family's demands for answers got even louder following the revelation that a member of the Ames police department suggested twice that officers call off the chase.

"He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him," James said. ""It was over a damn pack of cigarettes."

McPherson is currently on paid leave pending the results of his department's investigation.

Remember this guy? The same department, same police dog, same hospital, pulled ALL THE SAME SHIT just a few months earlier:

Routine Traffic Stop Leads to Anal Probe Nightmare—Again

This week, two terrible accounts surfaced about police misconduct in New Mexico involving unjustified anal cavity searches. On Tuesday, New Mexico's KOB 4 published a report about a man who, after rolling through a stop sign, was forced by police undergo eight medical procedures—including rectal finger exams, enemas, and a colonoscopy—at a hospital. One day later, KOB reported on a second man ordered to undergo an x-ray and anal cavity search after turning without using his blinker.

The first man, David Eckert, was pulled over in January 2013 after running a stop sign while leaving a Wal-Mart parking in Deming, in southern New Mexico. When he stepped from his vehicle, police claimed he appeared to be "clenching his buttocks," according to Eckert's attorney, Shannon Kennedy. A K-9 named Leo, whose license expired in April 2011, was called to the scene and quickly alerted officers that he smelled drugs on Eckert's seat.

Deming police arrested Eckert and obtained a warrant for an anal cavity search. A doctor at the first hospital they took Eckert to refused to comply with the warrant, calling it "unethical." But doctors at a second hospital, Gila Regional Medical Center, agreed to the search. Here's a list of the procedures performed on Eckert by doctors and three Deming police officers:

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.

No drugs were found, and Eckert was eventually released. He's now suing three Deming police officers, three Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies, and the doctors who performed the procedures.

Awful, right? But just three months before Ekert's ordeal, nearly the exact same thing happen, in the same town, at the same hospital—even the Leo, the unlicensed K-9 dog, was involved.

On October 13, 2012, Timothy Young was stopped by police after he made a turn without using his signal. For reasons that aren't clear, old Leo the K-9 was called to the scene and, just like with Eckert, signaled to police officers that he detected the scent of drugs on Young's car seat. Young was arrested and taken to the same hospital as Eckert, where doctors x-rayed his abdomen and performed a manual anal probe. Again, no drugs were found.

Young has hired Shannon Kennedy, Eckert's attorney, and plans to sue Deming, Hidalgo County, and Gila Hospital.

"If the officers in Hidalgo County and the City of Deming are seeking warrants for anal cavity searches based on how they're standing and the warrant allows doctors at the Gila Hospital of Horrors to go in and do enemas and colonoscopies without consent, then anyone can be seized and that's why the public needs to know about this," Kennedy, told KOB 4.

I would have disagreed a few months ago.
 
I believe that I heard the aforementioned Radley Balko interviewed and he mentioned that the reason for federal grants to give military vehicles to local cops was of course inspired by ...companies that make military vehicles.

Re: the enema case- this quote from this story hit a nerve with me.
Should Mr. Eckert be successful in his lawsuit, look for everybody involved to be “punished” with copious amounts of paid vacation time, much like the UC Davis cop who was given paid time off and disability bonus that totaled more than twice the amount paid to any of the students he assaulted.

Fact. The basics are to announce that you do not consent to any searches, ask if you are free to go or if they have a warrant, and to lock the door behind you if required to exit house or vehicle.

I do have to agree with the advice to not brake and act all spazzy when a police cruiser is spotted. I constantly roll past them going over the limit and just lightly back off the throttle while not even looking in their direction.
I also love to roll past cops trying to make turns and not let them out. It's never been a problem.
 
Ya, standing on your brakes is a bad idea. Just don't make sudden movements. All animals are attracted to it. You want a cop's attention? Change lanes, brake hard, start gesticulating in the car.
 
I dont understand why this woman drove off.
