#OpDemingPD

To The Deming (NM) Police Department,

We are Anonymous, and we are not happy with something you have done as of late.

If you really believe in the responsibility of your police, and if you really want to protect your citizens' lives and rights, then why did you force David Eckert into getting a rectal examination, x-rays, enemas, and a colonoscopy (all of which were involuntary and against Mr. Eckert's will)? You've clearly got a lot to answer for, and the time to answer is now.

We are well aware of the fact that Mr. Eckert has had a few prior drug-related arrests (most of which were tossed out in court), but that doesn't make what you did excusable for any reason.

Just in case you need a reminder, the Fourth Amendment bars unreasonable search and seizure, and requires a warrant to be sanctioned and supported by a probable cause. You had no probable cause whatsoever, other than Mr. Eckerts' prior arrests. Furthermore, the warrant you had was meant to be served out during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Just the fact that the forced medical procedures happened late at night violates the Fourth Amendment, due to the warrant's expiration time and the procedures being illegal search and seizure.

In conclusion, you're power-hungry, and this situation with Mr. Eckert easily proves it. You violate his Fourth Amendment rights, in spite of him not having any drugs on him or in him. That doesn't sit well with us at all.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.
