Given Texas’ fondness for capital punishment, I’m worried that the standards of the state medical review board boil down to, “Do whatever anyone with a badge asks you to do.”

If the cops escalate to beating and electroshock in the hospital in the presence of a doctor, that would have moved to the point of full blown Ministry of Love torture regime at a whole higher level of approval.
And that has been the case in Chicago and Philadelphia where routine torture was used for years.

I’ve had some luck when I said to the police, “So, you’re admitting you don’t have probable cause, then,” when they threatened to make me wait for them to bring in drug-sniffing dogs. If they need to wait for the dog, they don’t have probable cause, that simple. If they had probable cause, they could search you immediately, without asking or waiting at all.
Make sure you get VIDEO of officers in action at any given stop. Also make sure, however, that the officer(s) know you are recording, as the whole point is to not let it escalate in the 1st place, plus many states (MD, for example) make it illegal to collect audio or video (but not always both!) w/o consent.

Isn’t that called “terrorism.?”
The other goal of torture is to extract false confessions, which creates a cascading whitch hunt of additional people to torture. Notice how even in a small rural village like Salem, Massachusetts, the use of torture became a self-perpetuating cycle that quickly ramped up to an almost industrial scale.

Why don’t they just use those TSA porno screeners to see if someone is hiding something? Or maybe some agents like humiliating and molesting captive persons and are adept at steering investigations in that direction.
Since we allow police departments to run their own internal investigation units… absolutely no one.

Lawsuit? Sexual assault charges should be pending, along with firings.
This is bizarre. Why is this allowed? How do you file for a judicial review of these methods? What’s the success rate of CT scans / physician administered medical examinations in recovering drugs or dugs evidence? How many times does it succeed in finding drugs? I’m guessing it’s much less than 50% of the time. How many times do dogs give false alerts per accurate identification? It sounds like it’s grossly ineffective and inaccurate.
You do have a constitution over there that protects against searches of the person, right?
There needs to be clear guidance issued to all doctors under what circumstances they can comply with law enforcement requests, and what circumstances they must refuse. The cops need to be fired before the doctors because they’re inviting the doctors to commit assault.
The TSA porno scanners barely work to find concealed weapons under your clothes. They would certainly not work to find drugs concealed in a body cavity.

Is there any law remotely justifying a hospital sending a bill to a “patient” who was given a medically-unnecessary procedure against their will?
Seems that a dog getting a false positive would be good evidence that it had not been properly trained. Does anyone keep records of their success rates?

Possibly…
Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary) was quarantined on North Brother Island twice, and underwent fecal and urine sampling there the first time she was quarantined.
She was a healthy carrier of the Typhoid Salmonella bacteria, and didn’t medically require these procedures. But it was legal at the time to quarantine her, and forcibly take fecal and urine samples because she violated probation after she was released from quarantine the first time.
Of course, in this case there is an argument for medical necessity. It was necessary for public health, not hers.

Hell picketed. Why are national associations still certifying this hospital for anything that requires judgement?
