Man Subjected To Triple Enema During Traffic Stop Awarded $1.6 Million via Gawker David Eckert, who was given three enemas as part of a humiliating search after a routine traffic stop last year, has received a $1.6 million settlement from a county and city in New Mexico. Lawyers from the city of Deming and Hidalgo County agreed to the settlement earlier this week. “It was medically unethical and unconstitutional,” his lawyer, Shannon Kennedy, told the Associated Press. “He feels relieved that this part is over and believes this litigation might make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.” Eckert was pulled over for failing to yield at a stop sign last January. When Eckert appeared to be “clutching his buttocks,” police called in a K-9 to the scene, despite the fact that the dog’s license expired in 2011. The dog indicated there were drugs in the car and police obtained a warrant for an anal cavity search, despite finding no other evidence of drugs in the car. The following exams were then performed on Eckert at Gila Regional Medical Center, where Eckert was taken after a first hospital refused to examine him on the grounds that such a search was “unethical.” Justice was served!
