They will burn in hell, and I will smile like a giddy schoolgirl as I spit on their graves.
 

I hope there is a $100,000,000 judgment against the hospital and those professionals involved.

not sure the hospital did anything wrong unless i missed something

i mean the smart thing is to do a move called the shot gun approach where you sue everyone but IF there were warrants or court orders the hospital is only following those.

The hospital performed medical procedures that were not medically needed against the will of the person the procedure was being performed on.

So yes the hospital did something wrong, I wont go into the fact the hospital billed the person for the unwanted and not needed procedures
 

1.)the will of the person doesnt matter one bit "IF" there was a court order/warrant to do so

2.) yes this is my opinion this is wrong but again, if there was a court order/warrant of course the hospital charges the patient :shrug: unless they are court ordered not too

They could have simply refused to do the procedure, and they wouldn't be sued now. In the first case i heard of, the doctors at the first hospital refused so the cops had to go elsewhere.

Alternatively, we could just grow up and legalize drugs so this **** never happens again.
 
I read about this story a few days ago. I frankly don't see how this is any different than anal rape.

Probable cause was established based on how the suspect was standing. That's it. Nothing more. That's all they needed to call in a phone warrant. The judge should also be sued.
 

I can accept a single body cavity search as being acceptable with a search warrant. But multiple ones that were increasingly invasive, and potentially harmful, passes the line of being justifiable. It was at that point they did wrong. It move to cruel and unusual punishment for a person who at the time was not found to be guilty of anything and punishment the hospital staff took part in
 

Roh Roh, somebody was playing fast and loose with the law. I foresee people owning the Police departments involved.
 



This is just one small example of the abuse of power that local and state agencies perpetuate against normal, everyday citizens of this country.

Not if they are expired or in the wrong county. Then they are screwed. Even if the warrants were legitimate and correct they could still refuse based on the Hippocratic oaths they took, as they are NOT obligated to follow any police directives unless so ordered by a court.
 

1.) if there was a warrant/court order that could also land them in trouble

2.) while i do support legalizing come drugs, illegal searches still need addressed.
 

1.) again i agree with you but thats just our OPINION, if theres a court order it becomes grey really fast
2.) the cops in out opinion yes, the hospital, not if the warrant calls for it
 

which is what i sad :shrug:

I was talking about being specifically ordered by a court to perform the search, not just because the police have a warrant in hand. Sorry about the confusion.

There was no court order for a colonoscopy, that's for sure. Even the judge can't be so blind as to think he's got that kind of unmitigated power. That procedure can kill someone and for what, he might be hiding some weed in there? No truly free country would abide this, and no "healer" would go along with it.
 

then the move for the hospital would to be to also sue the police :shrug:

A Court can not order such as is the subject here.

I'm betting that the cops put all of their marbles on the errant dogs for probable cause, and neglected that actual warrant signed by a judge.

I'm also teetering on the possibility that the hospital jumped on the chance to make easy money, and performed the work based solely on the verbal instructions from the cops.

Time will tell.
 

1.) very possible
2.) or even the hospital could have been muscled in a way not knowing what they have to do and what they can refuse to do

No, IF anything, it was Reasonable Suspicion, and even that is pushing it.



You can't sue a Judge for that.

Judges can be sued.

I said "You can't sue a Judge for that", meaning issuing a SW in this case, I know about Judicial jurisdictional non Immunity.

I read that the first settlement is in to the tune of 1.5 million dollars and quite rightly. I think it is the county that settled but lawsuits against others involved in the breaking of his civil rights are still in the works.
