Actually if the cop didn’t have a warrant the Nurse could lose her credentials if she drew the blood without consent. She’s not wrong here.
Police officer should have remained while the patient was treated and asked for a warrant with probable cause. They can’t force you to give your blood when your conscious why would they be able to obtain such evidence when your unconscious?
“Police officer should have remained while the patient was treated and asked for a warrant with probable cause.”
I don’t disagree.
“They can’t force you to give your blood when your conscious why would they be able to obtain such evidence when your unconscious?”
The article indicated the nurse claimed not to be able to even draw blood without the person’s consent.
Will be an interesting one ...
You have the cop on the phone with his supervisors demanding the draw and tellin cop to arrest the nurse if she won’t comply
and
The Nurse on the phone with her managers telling her she cannot draw the blood
Probable cause for what?
As outlined in the excellent summary above by af_vet_rr at post 47, I can find no justification for a warrant to be even asked for, let alone granted.
I've read through 2 posts on this subject. Those supporting the unhinged officer were no surprise at all. This particular incident is so clear, that it is an excellent vehicle to identify those who will reflexively support police regardless of the actual circumstances.
