This whole story is originating with the original plaintiff’s lawyer (cited in the article).
So maybe the whole story happened just like she said, and maybe we’ll eventually hear “the rest of the story”.
I won’t draw any conclusions, but I AM constantly amazed at how the FR Libertarian contingent invariably accepts, without the slightest hint of credulity, the payday seeking lawyer’s word as gospel. No need for questions, no need to ask if the version of events presented is even true. Nope, a plaintiff’s lawyer would never embellish the truth!
BINGO!!!!! We have a WINNER!!! Thank you.
The investigator for KOB TV has seen the medical records and warrant. The warrant was for one county, but the “exams” were performed in another county. The warrant expired at 10 p.m., the medical procedures started at 1 a.m. the following day. This isn’t just a he said/they said situation. Lots of corroborating evidence.

According to a police affidavit accompanying the lawsuit, a detective asked a different officer to pull over Eckert's 1998 brown Dodge pickup truck for not properly stopping at a stop
Detectives don't roam around looking for traffic violations. Probably they were following this guy after a suspected drug buy. The traffic stop was just an excuse for a search.
And, as we all know, a drug user would never exaggerate a police encounter.
"Hildalgo County K-9 officer did inform me that he had dealt with Mr. Eckert on a previous case and stated that Mr. Eckert was known to insert drugs into his anal cavity and had been caught in Hidalgo County with drugs in his anal cavity," the affidavit said.
Should be an interesting trial.
LOL!! Ah, the old "rest of the story" ploy.
So what's stopping the police from telling the "rest of the story"?
