Below is an astonishing story that happened way back in January of one David Eckert who clinched his butt at the wrong time in front of the wrong Deming Police officers and the 14 hour anal cavity search that followed.
A Southern New Mexico man has filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Deming and several Deming Police Officers after a January police stop turned into a complete nightmare.
According to the lawsuit, David Eckert was pulled over by Deming police January 2 after failing to make a complete stop at a stop sign outside a Wal-Mart parking lot. After ordering Eckert out of his vehicle, police began insisting that Eckert was clenching his buttocks, claiming the action was probable cause to suspect illegal drugs were hidden inside his anal cavity.
During an interview with KOB 4 Eyewitness News, Eckert’s attorney, Shannon Kennedy, said law enforcement then successfully obtained a cavity search warrant after contacting a local judge. Police then drove to a local hospital where a doctor refused to carry out the search, telling police the task was “unethical.” Despite the warrant only covering Luna County, Police illegally drove Eckert to Silver City’s Gila Regional Medical Center in Grant County, where he soon underwent what many would consider outright torture.
Medical records released to KOB 4 News revealed in graphic detail just how far police and doctors went, reminiscent of something one would expect to hear from Abu Ghraib prison.
Being held against his will, doctors x-rayed Eckert’s abdominal cavity, only to have the results find absolutely nothing. Incredibly, Deming police were not satisfied.
Doctors were then ordered to examine and penetrate Eckert’s anus with their fingers, searching deep inside Eckert’s body without his permission, only to find nothing. Unbelievably, doctors then proceeded to penetrate Eckert’s anus a second time, again finding absolutely nothing.
Clearly innocent after undergoing procedures usually reserved for maximum security prisoners, Eckert was then forced by doctors and police to receive an enema. Doctors filled Eckert’s anal cavity with large amounts of water, forcing Eckert to defecate as doctors picked through his fecal matter, only to find nothing.
Disgustingly, Eckert was subjected to a second enema, yet again defecating all over the floor as police looked on. Once again, doctors came up empty handed
The torture continued as police ordered a third enema, again producing absolutely no drugs whatsoever.
Eckert was then thrown back under the x-ray machine, blasted with radiation for a second time, only to have the same result, no drugs detected inside Eckert’s body.
Likely exhausted at this point, Eckert’s ordeal was far from over. Not finding any drugs, doctors then decided to take Eckert to the operating table where he would be sedated against his will and prepared for surgery. Doctors then proceeded to carry out a colonoscopy, shoving a camera deep into Eckert, reaching as far as his large intestine. To no surprise, Eckert was not concealing any drugs inside his body.
Despite the warrant being invalid due to the location change, police went one step further by carrying out the search past the warrant’s 10 p.m. time limit, spending 14 hours with Eckert. According to medical records, Eckert’s colonoscopy did not even begin until 1 a.m.
“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 News.
Eckert’s lawsuit not only lists the City of Deming but Deming Police Officers Robert Chavez and Bobby Orosco. Others include Officer Hernandez as well as Hidalgo County Deputies Robert Rodriguez, Patrick Green and David Arredondo.
“This is like something out of a science fiction film, anal probing by government officials and public employees,” Kennedy said.
Eckert’s situation represents an incredibly dangerous trend among government agencies. Late last year, two Texas women were forced to undergo roadside body cavity searches during a routine traffic stop. According to a lawsuit later filed, the anus and vagina of both women was touched with the same latex gloves, never changed between searches.
In early 2011 while going through a Dallas TSA security checkpoint, Susie Castillo, who became Miss USA in 2003, was singled out for an extensive pat-down by an older female TSA employee. According to Castillo, the TSA employee touched Castillo’s vagina 4 times, an experience she had never once before had at any other airport.

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.
Hmmmm no word yet from Holder and the DOJ about the actions taken by Deming PD amounting to torture by Obama's own standards that things like that can't even happen to the terrorists at GITMO.
There are SOOOOOOOOOOOO many things wrong with the actions of the Deming PD and the violations of Mr. Eckerts civil rights. It seems officer Green had had a run in with Eckert on January 2nd where officer Green felt that Mr. Eckert had not shown him respect. So Officer Green was gonna teatch that boy a lesson. Reading more shows that on the day of the start of his 14 hour anal cavity search another officer had pulled Eckert over but had not seen the infraction but had been radioed to him by officer Green.
Mr Eckert demanded attornies during the whole process. Once the Deming PD took this man out of Deming to Lordsburg because the hospital in Deming refused the cavity search as directed by Deming PD he was taken to Lordsburg that just happens to be in another county. Care to guess what happened to that warrant issued in Deming? Yep it became invalid. Also the time limit ran out on the warrant. If this guy doesn't own the city of Deming and Gila Regional Medical Center and those law enforcement offiers who perpetrated the violation on so many levels are not fired there is something definitely wrong with our justice system. What I actually find interesting is this case happened in January and not reported to the public until the law suit was filed. In the end...sorry couldn't resist... it will be officer Green and a whole slew of other officers, the city of Demning and Silver City and Gila Regional Medical; Center that will have larned theyselves a lesson.
