Most of us are aware of the road-side body cavity searches performed in Texas, but this experience in New Mexico is even worse.
Traffic stop brings 3 enemas, 2 X-rays and 1 colonoscopy in cops’ fruitless drug search, suit says
The local news station, KOB4, originally reported on this and it was picked up by the American Bar Association Journal,
A New Mexico man claims in a federal lawsuit that he was forced to submit to three enemas, a colonoscopy, two X-rays and several cavity searches after he was pulled over for failing to yield for a stop sign while exiting a Wal-Mart parking lot.
The suit by David Eckert says that, despite the persistence of medical personnel, no drugs were ever found. KOB4 reviewed the lawsuit, medical records and police reports surrounding the plight of David Eckert of Lordsburg, who was pulled over Jan. 2.
No Drugs were found. The police pulled him over for failure to use a blinker! They suspected drugs because he "clenched his buttocks".

Notably the first hospital attending physician refused to do the enemas and colonoscopy. But doctors at a second hospital complied with the misguided police. Moreover, the hospital BILLED the victim of this obscene brutality.
What would you do if you were the victim of this police action?
What would you do if you were the doctor?
