Fowlkes raises a number of claims on appeal, but only one has merit: that the forcible removal of drugs from Fowlkes's rectum by officers without medical training or a warrant violated his Fourth Amendment rights. Because we conclude that the evidence obtained from this brutal and physically invasive search should have been suppressed, we vacate Fowlkes's conviction in part, vacate his sentence, and remand to the district court.

This sufficiently contradicts Zeke's suggestion that the ultimate recovery of pot justified the extraordinary invasion of a woman's body. I know Zeke is not an idiot. Any reasonable person would recognize that the conduct of the officers in this case was not legitimate. The woman did not pose any threat to them; there was no emergency that would have prevented the officers from obtaining a warrant (assuming that a judicial officer would find such a search reasonable). Because the misconduct in this case was so blatant, outright support of it and denigration of the woman who was subjected to a "brutal and physically invasive search" must be chalked up to trolling.

Trolling that I'm coming to understand as, often, aggression motivated by animosity. Such animosity is a reaction of authoritarian personalities when they encounter disagreement and criticism, and aggression is their general response.
