Ah, so the cop wanted the blood draw in the hope there’d be some contributing factor floating around in the victims blood when the pursuit/accident suit comes up!
Thing is, there would have been pain meds in his system due to the hospital having treated him, correct?
The fact is there was no way the patient’s actions had anything to do with the accident. It was the suspect’s doing. Impairment or no, would not have changed anything. Except, of course, the cops chasing the suspect would somehow come out as not at fault.
I support police, good ones, and understand there are extenuating circumstances. This was not one. The most innocent of all the parties, is lying unconscious.
