The hospital’s “policy” isn’t just a policy: it’s the Fourth Amendment!
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
William Gray, the victim in the crash, has a right to BE SECURE IN HIS PERSON. That means that jacktard violent cops don’t have the right to steal his blood without a warrant.
The cops are now arguing that they needed Gray’s blood to prove that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Yet they already have indisputable video evidence that Gray wasn’t doing anything wrong so what they needed was proof that he had done something they could charge him with. This is almost a standard thing with cops these days when they do something wrong is they try to find a way to blame the victim.
Fortunately Nurse Wubbels and her hospital place a higher value on the Fourth Amendment than do the criminals with badges who staff the SLCPD.
Yeah, I read something about the car chase gone wrong. I believe the perp died in the wrong way crash and put the other guy in the hospital.
