What A Pain In The Ass

Man Forced To Have 12 Hours Of Anal Searching

NOW my righteous indignation is on full force.
What the fuck are they thinking?

Actually, it doesn't matter one tiny little bit.

Here is the Cliff Notes version of the story:

63 year old man is driving and allegedly rolls through a stop sign.

Cope pull him over and decide that he was suspicious (he is described as looking like Tom Petty – not a spitting image, but that “look”).

It gets a little fuzzy from here – no pun intended. At some point, unclear in this story, the man is out of the car and standing. The officers state in their report that he appeared to be “clenching his buttocks”.

One of the officers at the stop asked if he could physically search the man.

He says, “No”.

It is at this point, according to the report says, that a police K-9 dog alerted the officers to the side of the car.

The man is taken to the local hospital where the following happens to him over a 12 hour period:

1.       TWO physical anal cavity searches

2.       X-ray scan

3.       THREE rounds of enemas

4.       Another X-ray scan

5.       Colonoscopy with anesthesia

Nothing was found.

Did you get that? Let me repeat that:

THE FUCKING POLICE AND DOCTORS FOUND ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING UP HIS ASS!!!!

After the 3 damn enemas, not even SHIT was found up his ass!

If that wasn’t enough, he received a bill for $6,000 for the medical procedures he was FORCED to undertake!

(let the rant begin)

They had NO probable cause and it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell if someone is "clenching" if they are seated in the car and you are outside. The article does say at one point that he "denies STANDING with his buttocks clenched", so they got him out of the car at some point. They asked if they could search him and he said, "no", as was his right!

This is furthered into the realm of WHAT THE FUCK by the first doctor the police told to perform the procedures saying it was unethical. The cops simply bypassed him and got another doctor that didn’t voice his opinions to do it.

When did we, the American people, give up our rights to privacy? When did we start living in a fear state where martial law is imposed?

We DIDN’T! Over time, the government has slowly grown bloated on our fear. What I mean by that is we, the average citizen, have allowed events to frighten us. We have run to the government and asked for protection. We push for stronger laws, swifter consequences. Our FEAR drives the legislation. The government has eaten it up. Our government has become the Jabba the Hutt of our Nal Hutta (No, I couldn’t resist the Star Wars reference). The government organization has become power-hungry. It has become corrupt and egotistical. The leaders – resisting another rant subject covered a long time ago – have become no better than crime lords and the police their thugs.

I bet dollars to donuts (and all the cops say, “did someone say donuts?”) that the second doctor saw that the first doctor refused and became scared of the possible consequences to him if he did so as well.

It is up to us as the American people to end this fear mongering the establishment has us doing and make some real changes. Not that bullshit that Obama put out there. Not the insignificant change that makes us feel like we are good people and doing right by the underprivileged. Not the heartwarming nothings that we so often do, thinking that we are making a difference. People need to be removed from their positions of power when that power is abused.

I hope this man wins and gets ALL the money!

He should win and the officers and judge that granted the warrant for the anal cavity probe should lose their jobs!

In other news – related – here is a law student showing he WILL NOT and CANNOT be intimidated because he KNOWS HIS RIGHTS.

We should take a lesson.
