It’s not “Absolutely 100% false” because I have seen it done first-hand.
Also, the hospital in the video had a policy that was signed off on by the local police department.
There is actually a maximum IQ requirement, a Ripley’s “Believe it or not” moment.
There is something going on here. Why was he so intent on getting that sample? Who is he working for? Who is paying him to get that blood sample?
This cops idiocy is in display to the rest of the world forever. Good golly is he in trouble.
Kudos to the nurse. She deserves a promotion.
There is something going on.
He was pretty serious about that sample, law be damned.
Not just him, but his supervisor and all the other cops standing there that did nothing.
They cited a law that had been off the books for TEN YEARS..............
Nope.. she was correct. That cop is proof of .. LEO’S not knowing the law, or disregrading the law.
Decades in healthcare and couldn’t count the number of blood draws. Any patient refusing a draw is granted that right.
Glad she stood her ground to expose the sheer ignorance or disregard for law.
Makes me wonder how often he violates the law to get what he wants.
You are ignorant and in the wrong.
You’re digging a hole, FRiend.
A hole of ignorance.
It has been suggested to me by a cop I know that perhaps they were trying to protect the guy they were trying to get the blood from. He was a victim in the crash, a commercial truck driver and a reserve police officer.
It is possible, just possible, that they believed they needed the blood sample to protect him or help him in any ensuing litigation, challenge to his commercial driver’s license or to his badge.
None of that is meant to excuse any of this behavior. It is just a possible, albeit it very thin, explanation of their motivations.
That cop is a scumbag. Imagine the crap he’s gotten away with. Will be interesting to read the comments about the two white shirts who barely lifted a limp wrist to defend the lady.
> Kudos to the nurse. She deserves a promotion. <
Agreed. She held her ground against a thug with a badge and a gun. And she tried to do what she knew was right. She will - I hope - win a huge lawsuit against the city. G-d bless her.
Given that he is in a Coma, the hospital has his blood.
If LE needs it then get a warrant.
Pretty tough for for someone to violate implied consent when they are unconscious. If he doesn’t consent he suffers a penalty. Well, he wasn’t able to make a decision. Wouldn’t it also be required to suspect the driver of a crime?

That is a false statement. The nurse was calm and respectful right up until the point of arrest.
Shame on you defending this thuggery.
In my opinion, the woman was in a no-win situation.
What a great solution to the problem. Arrest the nurse. That will work.
Suck, suck, lap, lap.
Eight posts before a a copsucking nanny tells us why we should submit to the whims of the government.
This may be a record.
Four additional officers were present for the incident.
Is she nuts?
She’s being arrested and is going to jail over “hospital policy”? And - she’ll likely be fired for her idiot reaction.
She’s nuts.
You’re nuts.
