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 womans 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 werent 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, its 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.

This is Drug War crap.
In this case, it is Texas police playing their rape games on a New Mexican.

Article says Customs and Border Patrol.
this has nothing to do with drugs
No more so than any other JBTs. They do because they can without facing any repercussions and because they enjoy it
Bears repeating. This is how the authorities SHOULD respond... and we all know they will not. Instead, there will be a civil suit, and taxpayers will get to pay this woman for her troubles, while the criminal police can continue their deviant behavior.
I think if it were me, I’d be taking names in order to dish out my own punishment later. If these perverts got less than the death penalty from our justice system, it wouldn’t seem to me that justice had been done... Thus leaving it up to me.
There is probably some pressure from on high.
Someone in the city, county or state government is giving the go-ahead for these INSANE actions.
SOMEONE knows why.
Pretext. There was probably zero evidence again.
Not so. FR has a shrill jackboot licking group for whom the police can do no wrong. I suspect many of the are police. Plus there is at least one admin mod who deletes threads that get too critical of the police. There was one last night critical of police for shooting a 12 lb dog. Got deleted because the mod claimed it was a "flamewar." I was reading it, and it didn't have as much personal criticisam as many of the threads do around here.
Welcome to Gregg Abbott’s Texas.
Yep ... I was just thinking ... “Now they’re crossing state lines”.
The dogs are doing their job. Now we need the overeager LEOs to recognize that you only go into a full body search if you have some corroborating suspicions besides the dog.
Sorry bub, it is the “Law and Order Conservative” who believes in “justice for you, mercy for Me”.
Welcome to Gregg Abbotts Texas.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol = federal agency
And we have a winner .
You nailed it. All of them are trained to alert on command.
Probably because it was able to alert on command or on a leash pull.

Makes sense now.
Thanks.
See Clever Hans.
Yeah, there are the Eugene Tackleberrys that have some kind of authority fetish that is so strong they just can't contain themselves. The more refind bootlickers will watch a video of 12 cops beating an unconscious grandmother while screaming "STOP RESISITNG!" and they will say "We don't know all of the facts yet so let's not be too hasty to judge them."
Just another day in the WOD neighborhood. Feel safe yet?
