A lawyer who is arguing his client’s Fourth Amendment rights were
violated by a forced urine sample is shining a light on the practice by
police in South Dakota.
The lawyer for Dirk Landon Sparks is asking a judge to toss the test
results used to charge his client with felony drug ingestion, the Argus Leader reports.
The lawyer, Jeremy Lund, argues in a May 16 motion
filed in Hughes County that the judge who signed a search warrant for a
blood or urine sample didn’t authorize Sparks to be strapped to a
hospital bed and a catheter to be forced into his penis.
