For one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars I would have let Tony Blair build miniature Christmas villages in my rectum.

I would let him build a little bigger ones in hubbys rectum for the same price.

That just made me laugh so hard! Thanks!!

As for me no way would I allow it! They would have to sedate me for sure and then I would in turn charge them 150k!

I see it like this.

You get pulled over with drugs in your car then your car can be legally ripped to shreds to see if you have anymore stashed.

You get caught with drugs on your body then things like cavity searches happens.

Did they catch him with drugs? If not then why the search?

If they did, then why the search? as they already have the evidence..

They just wanted to do this to this guy because THEY CAN.......or so they thought.

Show me in that article where it says that drugs was not found on him prior to the cavity search.

Lawyers take all type of cases for criminals and win them large sums of money. A few burgalers have won lawsuits against the people they were robbing because they got injured in their house.

He won this lawsuit because he had drugs forced into his body against his will. If you have another article going into more detail then please post it.

I actually agree with the outcome. Even though I still feel they did him a favor.

They drugged and technically raped him and you call that a favor?

you have a very unique way of looking at things...

I don't understand the debate, here...

There are laws in place, and they are black-and-white. These law "enforcement" officers clearly broke the laws they were entrusted to "enforce".

It seems 100% clear to me that laws were broken and a (at least for the moment) law-abiding citizen was alienated and humiliated.

Let's not forget people... you and I will not think about this story one week from now, but the victim will have to live with it forever.
