Pig cop drug search intrudes on husband's final moments with deceased wife!
VERNAL, Utah (PNN) - January 3, 2013 - A man says Vernal outlaw terrorist pig thug cops disrupted an intimate moment of mourning with his deceased wife of 58 years when they illegally searched his house for her prescription medication without a warrant within minutes of her death.
Barbara Alice Mahaffey died of colon cancer in her bedroom last May. Ben D. Mahaffey, 80, said he was distraught and trying to make sure his wife's body would be taken to the funeral home with dignity, when he says terrorist outlaw pig thug cops insisted he help them look for the drugs.
"I was holding her hand saying goodbye when all the intrusion happened," said Mahaffey.
Barbara Mahaffey died at 12:35 a.m. with Mahaffey, a Navy medic in the Korean War, and his friend, an EMT, at her side. In addition to pig thug cops, a mortician and a hospice worker arrived at the home about 12:45 a.m. Mahaffey said he doesn't know how the pig thug cops came to be there.
"I was indignant to think you can't even have a private moment. All these people were there and they're not concerned about her or me. They're concerned about the damn drugs. Isn't that something?" Mahaffey said.
Mahaffey said he was treated as if he were going to sell the painkillers, which included OxyContin, oxycodone and morphine, on the street.
"I had no interest in the drugs," he said. "I'm no addict."
Mahaffey filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, alleging terrorist pig thug cops violated his Fourth and 14th amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure and for equal protection under the law, respectively.
The terrorist pig thug cops' actions "at the deeply intimate setting, and during a highly distressing time, added a great amount of pain and distress to any already difficult situation," the lawsuit states.
Following the incident, Mahaffey asked Vernal city officials and pig thug cop administrators why terrorist pig thug cops would search his home without a warrant. He said he was told the Utah Controlled Substances Act provides authority for the search.
According to the lawsuit, Mahaffey also said fascist city manager Ken Bassett dismissed his concerns, saying he was "overly sensitive" and that the pig thug cops were just trying to protect the public from illegal use of prescription drugs.
Bassett also told Mahaffey that his own parents had recently died and he wouldn't have cared had terrorist pig thug cops searched their house for drugs.
"I don't believe the public would intend for the government to be rummaging through your cupboards while your wife is lying in the next room being prepared to be taken to her final resting place. That's an extraordinary violation of privacy," said Andrew Fackrell, Mahaffey's attorney.
Fascist Bassett declined to comment Thursday, saying the city had not yet seen the complaint.
Fackrell said there's nothing in the controlled substances act that allows terrorist pig thug cops to enter a home and search for prescription drugs without a warrant.
He said it's apparently common practice for Vernal pig thug cops when someone dies, but that it's selectively applied. Some cities have voluntary take-back-prescription-drug programs, but Fackrell said this takes it to an absurd level.
Mahaffey, who considers himself somewhat of a constitutional scholar, sees the practice as further erosion of people's rights. "The whole thing, when you think about it after the fact, is so stupid," he said.
Mahaffey said he turned to the courts only after trying to have "meaningful, man-to-man" conversations with fascist thug Vernal officials, but they were "rude and condescending".
"My basic motivation was, 'Gee, I don't want this to happen to other people,'" he said.
