There is a huge difference between drawing blood for medical purposes and drawing blood for legal, evidentiary purposes.
And, I would bet that any blood drawn for medical purposes is protected from confiscation by police by "Doctor/Patient Privilege".
The bill of rights and laws protecting those rights are there for a reason; to protect people from actions like those of this thug cop, Payne, and any other power-hard-on thug.
There are a great many good cops. I respect them, support them, and am thankful to have them.
But then there are bad apples and tin-pot thugs like Payne and, I'm assuming, you, ifinnegan.
“There is a huge difference between drawing blood for medical purposes and drawing blood for legal, evidentiary purposes.”

So the article is Not saying what you said above and I reacted to the article.
Is what the article attributed to the nurse wrong?
