In reply to the discussion: Man gets "raped" by police and medical staff after a routine traffic stop [View all]EOTE
(13,409 posts)71. I'm guessing they were REALLY sure he was hiding narcotics.
And that if they found them, it would be forgotten how they found them in the first place. That kind of backward thinking pervades police forces. I'm guessing that's why once they gave him the xray, they doubled down and gave him a cavity search, then doubled down some more with the enemas. I'm guessing if they'd found so much as a gram of grass up his ass, he'd have been screwed and would be looking at jail time rather than a lawsuit against these fuckers. I hope these assholes lose their jobs and the shirts off their backs.

It's mentioned at the end of the video, and it's awful. The hospital expects the victim to pay. n/t
