New Mexico Man Given Forced Colonoscopy by Cops Wins $1.6 Million

[mrjarrell]

I wouldn't say he "won", not after being kidnapped and raped at the hands of the cops and their accomplices at the hospital. Here's hoping all the people who did this to him get what they truly deserve in time.

It's not rape when the government does it.

Nobody will get what they deserve they will continue on and probably joke about it at the station. I would say take that settlement amount from their budget but that might just make things worse and pressure them to go out and confiscate property and money to make up the difference.

No cops fired.

No policy changes.

The anal rape will continue.

I just wish the media would name the judge that authorized this search warrant as well the police officers that participated.

One possible reason for the fruitless pursuit of drugs is that authorities were using a drug-sniffing dog named Leo whose certification allegedly expired in April 2011. The dog, under the supervision of Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office deputies, signaled Eckert had drugs.

And they wonder why I criticize Officer Chompy so.

 

[Caleb]

I'd take the $1.6 million and move the hell out of there

The anal rape will continue.

No accountability whatsoever. What a shame.

I'd take it and run for Sheriff in that county

Taking the 1.6M from the budget will only put more hardships on the population.
This is just another abuse of implied power they seem to think they have.

Take it from the pension fund. That would set things up to get some justice. I can't imagine the locker room would be very nice for them at any time after that. As for what to do with the money. Hire Guido and Nunzio to have a short talk with the rapists.

 

[Farmritch]

I own property in Deming, Maybe I won't retire there unless I can get a 1.6 Mil deal

 

[Mackey]

This begs the question.
Would you go through what this man went through for 1.6 million?

Depends on whether they were using a sigmoidoscope or not. If not, probably.

Would I intentionally do it? Not likely...but if it were forced on me, I'm taking the $1.6 million and find a different state to retire in.

 

[cobber]

As I recall, the local doc refused to perform further procedures, and the police took him out of county?

I can't imagine medical professionals honoring that warrant... amazing.

It was interesting to read that the this had happened to someone else once before. Same dog indicated drugs.
"Timothy Young was anally probed at the Gila Regional Medical Center in October 2012 after being pulled over for allegedly failing to use his turn signal. The same law firm is representing Young, but it's unclear what the status of his case is."

 

[Mark 1911]

Deming is such a small little spot in a such a vast expanse of sand and wide open space. So much can happen out there that nobody will ever hear, nobody will ever see. That is the first thing that comes into my mind, and I am not even related to Eckert. Orosco and Chavez may not be able to look in the mirror, but they will always be looking over their shoulders.

 

[Classic]

But, but, but,...the dogs are infallible!

 

[artesianjack]

WTF were they thinking?
