Well, New Mexico has already settled with the victim of police brutality for $1.6 million. Good for him. Here is the article:

I hope NM feels the pain deeply. I hope that there are mass firings in that police department - starting at the top.
Key quotes:
---------------------------------
According to a police affidavit accompanying that lawsuit, a detective asked a different officer to pull over Eckert's 1998 brown Dodge pickup truck for not properly stopping at a stop sign.
After Eckert was pulled over, a Deming police officer said that he saw Eckert "was avoiding eye contact with me," his "left hand began to shake," and he stood "erect (with) his legs together," the affidavit stated.
Eckert was told he could go home after a third officer issued him a traffic citation. But before he did, Eckert voluntarily consented to a search of him and his vehicle, according to the affidavit. A K-9 dog subsequently hit on a spot in the Dodge's driver's seat, though no drugs were found.
"Hildalgo County K-9 officer did inform me that he had dealt with Mr. Eckert on a previous case and stated that Mr. Eckert was known to insert drugs into his anal cavity and had been caught in Hidalgo County with drugs in his anal cavity," the affidavit said.
While CNN could not corroborate that claim, a search of Eckert's criminal history indicated he has been arrested several times on drug possession charges, though many of those charges were dismissed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson to be learned here: NEVER consent to a search of yourself or your vehicle.
And the line about the Hidalgo County K-9 officer saying that he had dealt with Eckert and he was KNOWN to hide drugs in his ass sounds completely fabricated.
New Mexico pays up for anal rape of man...
