The case of Timothy
Young made
national headlines in 2012 when New Mexico police anally
probed him in search of drugs (no contraband was found). His
ordeal was the result of a false positive alert by a drug-sniffing
police dog. Incredibly, the same dog was involved in a case
involving another New Mexico resident that resulted in forced
rectal exams that uncovered no drugs. That case ended with
authorities paying a
$1.6 million settlement (Young’s case is still
pending).
