If the Florida statutes specifically state that it is illegal to starve and dehydrate someone, why couldn't the Florida Attorney General just make a call to the hospice to tell them that he is sending the ambulance to get Terri and that if they don't tell the police guards to stand down (they are on the hospice property, so the hospice must have allowed them permission to be there) that he will have them all arrested for attempted murder?

Greer's caveat is that he can override that provision if to provide her food and water would cause her harm. In this case, the harm in not providing it far outweighs the benefit of trying, but Greer won't admit that.
