Anal Probe for a Traffic Stop?

A month ago the ACLU wrote Anal Probe for a Traffic Stop?.

"David Eckert was pulling out of a Wal-Mart parking lot when police officers pulled him over for failing to stop at a parking lot stop sign. Police ordered Eckert to step out of his vehicle, and that's when he committed the highly suspicious act of 'clenching his buttocks.' The officers' natural reaction? This man must be hiding narcotics in his anal cavity.

Being pulled over for a minor traffic violation is never a pleasant experience, but these Deming, New Mexico police officers took it to an atrocious new level, forcing Mr. Eckert to undergo a colonoscopy, anal probes, and defecation in a search for drugs. Yes, you read that correctly: the War on Drugs is being waged on minor traffic violators with enemas and sedatives."

Insane.
