Innocent man billed for police rectal probe
US man wrongly suspected of hiding drugs in his colon was reportedly given a rectal probe - and billed for the unwanted examination.
Torrence Jackson said he refused consent for the invasive procedure, and suffered internal injuries as a result.
According to the Post-Standard, doctors in Syracuse, upstate New York, refused to carry out the examination until police obtained a warrant.
The hospital sent Mr Jackson, 42, a bill for $4,595.12 (£3,600).
Dear me. What an unpleasant experience. If only Mr Jackson had the good sense to be a white guy then none of this would have happened.
Seriously though, this sort of thing could not happen over here, we dont live in a police state.
