the fall back position of the Pro-Police State

Who is the "Pro-Police State"?

that is me being informative

No, it is you being a snarky drama queen.

The fact that a person who opposes overarching tyrannical police powers is evidence of a police record.

Is your name David W. Eckert? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/07/new-details-emerge-about-new-mexico-man-at-center-of-police-departments-anal-probing-controversy/

You are uninformed.

You don’t understand my post at all.

I love when this poster puts something up to "bolster" their case. In this case, this article by the Blaze is hilariously pro-plaintiff. They try to suck you in the with the headline, but actually reading the article produces some amazing finds.

First, is the "evidence" for the search warrant:

Notice here (underlined) that the "suspect" is known to carry drugs in his anal cavity, even having been caught with drugs in his anal cavity, according to the K-9 handler. The same K-9 handler that did not get his dog certified to work in NM... hmmm.

But, the Blaze goes on to explain:

"Eckert’s history with drugs had been revealed by his attorneys, Joseph and Shannon Kennedy, but there was no mention of any previous attempts to transport drugs in his anal cavity. Still, though court records confirm Eckert’s history of drug-related offenses, we found no information confirming police’s claim that he once was caught with drugs in his anal cavity."

So, the warrant was obtained, in part, based on the K9 officer's statement that this man was "known to insert drugs in his anal cavity." Yet there is no police record of that.

Doesn't matter. Eckert could have had a hundred convictions for transporting drugs in his anus. I still would want the cops fired and the docs' medical licenses suspended for what they did.

From the story you cite:

“Eckert’s attorney, Shannon Kennedy, told TheBlaze allegations that her client has previously been caught with drugs in his anal cavity are “completely baseless” and “false.”

“There’s no record, there’s no evidence,” she added. “We did a public records request and investigated that claim thoroughly and found nothing.””

So either public records exist or they don’t. I don’t care one way or the other. Citizens protected by the 4th Amendment cannot be treated the way he was. Police lacked probable cause. If they MANUFACTURED probable cause (counter indicated by the 4th Amendment) because of previous suspiciouns the Police should go to jail.
