A man in New Mexico was pulled over by police for a minor traffic violation. When officers said a K-9 unit sniffed drugs on the drivers seat, the officers forced the man to undergo invasive medical procedures, including an anal exam.
It may sound nearly identical to David Eckerts nightmarish story as reported by TheBlaze Tuesday, but this is an entirely different incident.
It does, however, involve the same uncertified drug-sniffing dog in New Mexico. The dogs name is Leo.
Police in Lordsburg, N.M., pulled over Timothy Young for allegedly turning without using his blinker, according to police reports. Though it is unclear why, the officers with the Hidalgo County Sheriffs Department suspected the driver of possessing drugs, KOB-TV reported.
The incident occurred Oct. 13, 2012, according to the timestamp on the police cars dashcam video. Just like in Eckerts case, Leo the K-9 alerted officers to possible drugs on Youngs seat, the report said.
Armed with what police said was probable cause and a search warrant, officers took Young to the Gila Medical Center in Silver City, N.M. The name of the hospital may sound familiar because its the exact same hospital Eckert was taken for the invasive hunt for drugs in his body that lasted more than 12 hours.
Young was then reportedly subjected to X-rays and an anal exam. They found no drugs.
Young, just like Eckert, says he did not consent to any of the procedures, which were performed in a county not covered by the search warrant obtained by police.
The similarities between the two cases go on and on. Now, KOB-TV is reporting that Leo the K-9 seems to get it wrong pretty often. As it turns out, the K-9 is not even currently certified in the state of New Mexico.

“What will happen, when someone decides to resist this crap?”
They’ll probably poop plastic backs filled with cocaine.
That is used as a pretext to stop anyone they want.
They certainly do not stop very many who don't use their blinker.
They shouldn’t have named the dog Leo. He thinks he’s a cop.
Hahaha!
I hope that they have some really competent lawyers, too!
They're gonna need them.
More cops for you to defend.
According the local paper, this guys has a long drug history with several pending charges and was known to keep drugs in his anus.
Could be a lie, but before we string up the cops, we might want to get the whole story.

3rd world values. Nigeria is a military dictatorship. Doesn’t know any better.
>> When officers said a K-9 unit sniffed drugs on the drivers seat
In the other case, they suspected there were drugs IN the driver’s seat, leading to all SORTS of medical whoopie.
Maybe that dog is doing drugs.
Or maybe this is another case of the Marxists moving from ‘nudge’ to ‘shove.’
You won’t hear about the attempted anal rape by the cops, you’ll start hearing about the cops shooting people so “they can go home safe that night.”
You’re a regular stalker, aren’t you?
I think these cops have a weird anal obsession.
Eh? I thought you enjoyed defending cops?
