Nope. The courts will side with the officer because he was acting in good faith. Yep.

Not saying this will apply, but there is case law that permits LEOs to act immediately in ‘exigent circumstances’ to preserve evidence of a crime without the need for a warrant. The officer can act to preserve the evidence if he reasonably believes evidence of a crime exists and delay in getting a warrant would result in loss of the evidence

However in this case the person was an unconscious victim and not a crime suspect and the nurse was trying to explain hospital procedures in this case. The LEO went way over the top without bothering to check with his supervisor and proceeded to act like a total moron.
