The police phlebotomist has zero authority to do blood draw in the hospital without the hospital’s permission. He is not their employee and they have legal/medical obligations to their unconscious patient and serious liability issues if they ignore those obligations.
The hospital also had a written protocol agreement with the police department that the police phlebotomist was not following.
The cop was following neither the law nor the protocol so where does his authority come from?

But he is a cop! He can do anything he wants anywhere.
