     A woman was subject to “sexual assault and gratuitous radiological bombardment” by the police because\u2026 a dog prompted them<\/a> to!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“First the agents strip-searched the plaintiff, examining her anus and vagina with a flashlight. Finding nothing, they took her to the University Medical Center of El Paso, where they forced her to take a laxative and produce a bowel movement in their presence. Again they found no evidence of contraband. At this point one of their accomplices, a physician named Christopher Cabanillas, ordered an X-ray, which likewise found nothing suspicious. Then the plaintiff “endured a forced gynecological exam” and rectal probing at the hands of another doctor, Michael Parsa. Still nothing. Finally, Cabanillas ordered a CT scan of the plaintiff’s abdomen and pelvis, which found no sign of illegal drugs. ‘After the CT scan,’ the complaint says, ‘a CBP [Customs and Border Patrol] agent presented Ms. Doe with a choice: she could either sign a medical consent form, despite the fact that she had not consented, in which case CBP would pay for the cost of the searches; or if she refused to sign the consent form, she would be billed for the cost of the searches.’ She refused, and later the hospital sent her a bill for $5,000, apparently the going rate for sexual assault and gratuitous radiological bombardment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     What exactly prompted this?\u00a0 A police dog lunged on to the woman and put its paws on her.\u00a0 This may not actually be the dogs fault though:<\/p>\n

\n

“The agents instructed the plaintiff to stand in line with other people who had been selected for additional screening and walked a dog past her. According to the lawsuit, the dog handler ‘hit the ground by her feet, but did not hit the ground by any of the others in the line’.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     What’s troubling is that such actions by the police have often been given the rubber stamp approval of the courts:<\/p>\n

\n

“Although such alerts are\u00a0 frequently wrong and can easily be faked, the Supreme Court\u00a0 has said they qualify as probable cause for a search as long as the dog is properly trained. The burden of showing a dog is not properly trained lies with the person challenging the search.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     The Son of Sam, has gone from criminal to an inspiration for the police.<\/p>\n
