And if the unconscious guy laying in a hospital bed, is not under any suspicion of any crime, is not bleeding, should the cop just knock the guy up a bit to cause some free flowing blood? Just because he can?


That raises another point - the suspect was dead, why were they going after the victim, who was never a suspect? Especially since they didn't bother getting a warrant (or it was denied to them)?

One theory is they were trying to avoid a lawsuit by the victim by taking his blood.

“See, it wasn’t our wreckless (but super fun) police chase that got him killed. It was those 2 drinks he had!”

“... why were they going after the victim ...”
-
The police department was looking for anything that could mitigate their potential liability for the crash.

The Victim was injured during a police pursuit. If they can establish he “contributed” to his injuries by being under the influence of certain substances, fewer questions will be asked.
