Criminal defense attorneys often challenge the showing of probable cause used as the basis for search warrants. That is the argument of a Spokane, Washington man who was given a search warrant for his rectum simply because police officers said that he seemed to be tightening his cheeks and refused a rectal exam.
The 31-year-old man was confronted by police over whether he was flexing and refused to cooperate with an exam. The police proceeded to secure a rectal warrant only to find that he . . . well . . . had natural “buns of steel.”
The exam occurred at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center but doctors found nothing.
Officer Brian Eckerlsey, spokesman for the Spokane Police Department, insists that the jailer thought he had something “But for whatever reason, it didn’t come out.”

Kinda reminds me of the movie “American Me”where it was shown what the rectum can be used and abused for.

it was molar
This case may go all the way to the Supreme Rectal Court.
I want to know who gets the honor of executing that warrant! Wow!
From linked article: “The 31-year-old Spokane man was arrested Sept. 10 on misdemeanor warrants after a traffic stop just before 1 a.m.
Police found a knife, marijuana, a digital scale and cash in his backpack, according to court documents. He was being booked into Spokane County Jail on a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver when a corrections deputy noticed a foreign object “possibly inside his anal cavity.”
“The suspect refused orders to bend over, spread his buttocks and cough,” according to the warrant. “He stood with his buttocks clenched tightly and refused to cooperate with any further instructions.” ”
I don’t really want to understand the logic of this chain of events; if you deconstruct just about any chain of events you can rationalize the isolated actions al la the Rodney King tape and the defense analysis of it.
When you have a misdemeanor warrant being complicated by weed and a knife (I carry a knife!) end up with a rectal search warrant then the system is broken. This is just ludicrous. Rectal search warrants, really?
“rectal warrant ”
Maybe thats why the officials in the California pay scandal,were kept from the general population for there were probably some inmates there who would try to serve such a warrant:-)
AY,
My thought exactly.
That is…….now who really is the tight ass….
ROFLMAO
Give a man a fish……
