It seems the cops truly did believe that he had something up his bunghole. They kept looking, and escalating the situation, and even searching through his poop. The question is, why were they so convinced?

Seriousness of the charge, right?

Eff the evidence, we have hearsay by LEO that indicates there might be a concern (and, of course, their word is impeachable and if you say it is, you are a racist because Obamugabe is the POTUS and, well, he’s BLACK!).

C’mon Defiant, You studied the US Constitution, right?

Were they ‘convinced’?

My money is on ‘they are sadistic bastards’.

Just out of curiosity, what do you believe should be the penalty for the degree of malice or stupidity that would lead one sincerely to believe something untrue, when that erroneous belief leads to such egregious violations of one of their superiors' civil rights?

When "belief" leads to things like this, then belief should come with consequences, and big ones. The penalty for such misuse of their faculties when the stakes are so high should be severe indeed.
