A third New Mexico resident is claiming that she was physically abused by police and medical staff who exceeded their authority to search for drugs she never had.
The woman’s attorney came forward with her story just a few days after a local news channel reported similar stories involving New Mexico police forcing two suspects to undergo invasive surgery to prove they weren’t carrying drugs. Police used expired and nonexistent warrants to justify the improper and unethical searches, according to KOB-TV 4.
The unnamed woman is being represented by Laura Schaur Ives of the New Mexico chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. Schaur told KOB-TV 4 that her client was stopped by police in El Paso, Texas. After a drug-sniffing dog indicated that she might have drugs, police strip-searched her and then allegedly assault her by sticking their fingers into her vagina.
When the on-site search failed to turn up any drugs, police took the woman to University Medical Center of El Paso. There, she was given an X-ray, cat scan and full body search. Medical personnel probed her anus and vagina, according to Schaur.
“They then did a cavity search and they probed her vagina and her anus, they described in the medical records as bi-manual — two-handed,” she said in a statement. “Again, they found nothing.”
Schaur claims that police did not have a warrant to conduct the search.
If this horror story sounds familiar, it’s because two other New Mexico residents were violate by drug-seeking police officers. Timothy Young and David Eckert were pulled over for traffic violations in separate incidents, and were searched on the authority of the same unlicensed drug-sniffing dog.

Ironically, none of these victims were Mexicans...who transport 99.9% of drugs in that area. Why would this be?
their= they’re
FYI
They have too much money.
“and were searched on the authority of the same unlicensed drug-sniffing dog.”
***
Do drug dogs have to be licensed?
If so, why are the police using this one?
I consider the vast majority of tort lawsuits frivolous, but I would support huge claims for these victims of government abuse, both from the government that tolerates this abuse and from the individuals who abused their positions.
I think the NM police have been recruiting too many homosexual perverts. This is normal for them.
New Mexico PING!
Rest assured that nothing will happen to these JBT’s.
They ALWAYS protect their own.
Actually this sounds like my dog. He really has a thing for sniffing crotches.
“Police used expired and nonexistent warrants to justify the improper and unethical searches”
In other words they KIDNAPPED,TORTURED AND RAPED HER.
I’m pretty sure they’d have to beat the crap out of me.
“Schaur claims that police did not have a warrant to conduct the search.”
IMO, both the police who forced this activity and the dopey medical personnel who assisted with even the support of a warrant should be in severe jeopardy. Frankly, hearing that case I would sentense them to a week of colonoscopies on pay for view TV as a portion of the fine to be paid to the woman.
My rationale for that, looking for their brains.
I’m moving to New Mexico! I want to win a multi-million dollar lawsuit...!

“They have too much money.”
They do, but they’re not getting it the way you think: drug related property seizures are extremely profitable for the police. It’s a revenue center for them.
You’re absolutely correct. The police need to be defunded. A free and well armed people have little need for them.
And the hospital had the crust to present him with a $6000 bill for services he did not consent to. I’d tell them where to put their bill.
