And you know, my husband thought he got it bad when he got a ticket for both not using his turn indicators to change lanes and not having the turn indicator on long enough. Of course, it was Signal Hill, California, which played a part in the death of a Long Beach State football player–back when it had a football team, so he could have been arrested and later found hanged.

Seems like they should be fired and possible have licenses yanked.

So the lesson here is always, ALWAYS carry some contraband on you to avoid getting raped when the police ask you to hand it over.

They should have called me. I would have told them the turn signal control arm was right on the steering column, and if they were searching for it where they were they were, they were wasting their time.
Unless they were just using the “no turn signal” thing as ruse to conduct an illegal search.
What am I saying, these are cops, and Sheriff Taylor didn’t even carry a gun. If we can’t trust the police, who can we trust. I apologize.
Great, now I can’t get the image of Andy Griffith putting on a surgical glove out of my mind.

There should be a push for the to revoke their licenses to practice for violating the Hippocratic oath. It would be nice if the article named the medical professionals and officers in question.

If she thinks that was bad, wait until she gets the hospital bill for “services rendered.”
And, no, I’m not making it up – a gent in New Mexico got the same treatment … and, yes, the bill.

They should probably add that one to the list.
but in all seriousness. I can’t think of a single thing that fits in a butthole that justifies sexually assaulting a person.
…Engagement buttplug? If you and that special someone is into roleplay?

Yep. Mandatory searches for everyone!
We have something called “rights” over here. Thought you guys had those too … written down on some fancy old document even.

I will now do infinite hail marys for making a slightly humorous post regarding an utterly demoralizing situation which has happened to others and there is no mechanism in place to keep it from happening again.

Lots of jokey comments here, and I get it, gallows humor.
But holy fucking shit, I don´t even want to imagine what an experience like this would do to a sensitive person. Being tied to a bed and sexually violated by authority figures. Thinking about that makes me want to kill these shitstains, not joke about them.

Check your history; medical professionals are usually heavily involved in the torture state. Psychologists at Guantanamo, physicians keeping torture victims alive for South American dictatorships, etc. The Holocaust began with the slaughter of the disabled in Germany’s hospitals; the German medical profession overall were enthusiastic supporters of the Nazis.
Codes like the Hippocratic Oath and ethical review procedures don’t exist because the medical professions are stacked with exceptionally ethical people. They exist because medical professionals have an immense capacity to do harm, and a long history of making use of that opportunity.

But also the police don’t have to say why the person is under arrest of what they are looking for. They ask for a cavity search.
I actually heard an argument from doctors back when the Gila Regional Medical Center case was in the news, and they said, basically: the police are in charge of our safety, and can therefore do just about whatever they want.
“If you don’t agree to violate this person without their consent, don’t expect a prompt response when you dial 911 about an active shooter.”
This really needs to be made hospital policy, though, so it’s out of the decision-making hands of the doctors. The hospitals need to say that they won’t do any searches without consent. Isn’t this why hospitals have ethics boards?
Unfortunately, the people who own the hospital probably didn’t have to that the Hippocratic Oath.

So the police are using intimidation and threatening to not do their job huh? Sounds about right.

I’m really hoping you meant “Sounds typical” rather than “Sounds about right.”
There’s nothing right about it.
