I certainly would. The police aren't qualified in and of themselves to administer any kind of medical treatment, much less against a person's will. Perhaps with a court order, under the proper medical supervision, but not as described here.
I once read about a similar case (I think it was in a George Will editorial) about a woman apprehended at an airport who was suspected (rightly) of having swallowed a number of receptacles of cocaine. In that case, the authorities simply waited for nature to take its course.

Yeah, I don't understand why there are folks here hot to trot for forcibly extraction of fluids when that is always an option. They clearly don't consider the impact on INNOCENT suspects treated in such a fashion to be an obstacle (or are we all guilty until proven innocent?)
